Hi Casper, I opted for two per deflector too - one at each end but rotated them 90 degrees so they miss the window - like this...

Exactly the reason I got them. You can leave the windows part open without drawing attention to the fact the windows are open. Another reason for me was to increase airflow at night and help reduce condensation.

Hi Casper,  the wind deflectors were from micks garage - http://www.micksgarage.com/search/wind% … 0to%202004

From memory they arrived the next day and we're simple to fit with the clips.

New side decals added.

Makes it look more like a camper now. Ironic considering I originally wanted a stealth camper!

Still looking for the rear doors (with windows in) but not that hard to be honest. The more I think about it the less I think I need them.

Not pictured is a diy surfboard table for the inside made using the ply that made up the original racking.

Here are the ones from the link you sent on mine (plus Alfa Romeo 147 alloys).

Amazing how much brighter and airy the rear now feels with them.

Brilliant to use as it lists the mot fails and advisories. Great when you're looking to buy as you can see if the work has been done / how honest the sellars are!

#33 Re: Camper Conversions » Buying Advice. » 2016-09-12 15:00:37

App on my phone "MOT history" - just need make and reg number. You can also use the .gov website, search for MOT history checker and select the .gov one.

#34 Re: Camper Conversions » Buying Advice. » 2016-09-12 14:50:18

The van you linked to hasn't been taxed since Dec 15 and the mot run out in June 16. That raises questions to me. May be a reason why it's so cheap.

#35 Re: Camper Conversions » Buying Advice. » 2016-09-12 14:44:00

If they have a good service history then I wouldn't be concerned with the milage. If well looked after you see the engines go to 200-300 plus  (just look at some of the old taxis for sale!)

Of course less milage is more desirable but will come at a £. I would say don't discount a high milage one if the price is right.

As for mine, on a 56 plate it had 100k when I purchased it with substantial service history (cost £1500 in May for reference).

#36 Re: General Discussion » MPG » 2016-08-31 11:24:47

Running mine at 36psi. I found that number online somewhere  (maybe from the vehicle handbook).

#37 Re: Spare Parts » Free roof rack and pipe rack » 2016-08-23 23:28:14

Hi there, is it the full length roof rack? If you're not too far away I may be interested. Where abouts are you?

Thanks.

#38 Re: Camper Conversions » My diy Citroen Dispatch conversion - so far » 2016-08-19 13:56:40

I was on about the rear ones, managed to sort some side ones too - still looking for the rear ones.

Thanks for the info tee_cee.

I've just tried that and it gives me all the info bar the body colour!

Hi guys.

Done some digging online and it suggests the paint code is located on the drivers side pillar where the door is open. It suggests it's a 4 digit code / letters.

I've looked and can't seem to find - anyone know any different or could help? FYI the photo below is whats on the pillar of mine. Can anyone recognise a paint code from this?

Anyone know if you can get windows for the rear doors for the original Dispatch?

I've seen a few places where the can supply (or even fit) the bonded side privicy windows but can't seem to find any where they'd either provide or install some rear ones.

Not really wanting to replace the rear doors as I've slam locks fitted (and the van is red and to find a pair of matching red doors with the windows may prove tricky) but if I can't find what I'm after then it may be the only way.

Cheers, Hayden

Hmmm - seems like a right bargain! Just needs a little bit of work.

#44 Re: General Discussion » Speedo issues » 2016-07-12 20:35:55

As i understand it to access the speedo sensor you need the van on a ramp as it's right underneath and right up (no access from the top).

Next port of call Woukd be to clean the connectors - a friend of a friend has a ramp so will tackle that before but handy to know if it is the speedo itself then it's doable.

Hi guys. Wondered if anyone has had the same issue and if so how you resolved it.

So when I picked up my van the speedo worked fine with no issues. Then while driving occasionally the speedo needle would drop to 0 (but the van would still drive as normal) indicating a intermittent speedo sensor fault. I replaced this and it seemed to sort the issue but again this intermittent fault has started happening again.

It makes me think it's not the speedo but a dodgy connection? Not sure what connector is needed though as I sourced the part and got a garage to fit (due to the speed sensor being in a god awful place to access!)

Any help / tips / advice?

Cheers

For my van I added the wind deflectors and will have the windows ajar at night to get a bit of air flow. That combined with half a kilo of silica gel bags dotted throughout I'm hoping will be sufficient.

The stuff in the link is identical to what I used. The other colours looks good too! With the van having no windows white was the colour of choice for most things in the back as with he doors closed it's awfully dark! At least the white reflects the led lights well.

#47 Re: Camper Conversions » My diy Citroen Dispatch conversion - so far » 2016-07-06 22:30:55

Just spoke to the old man and he said its approx £10 for a 5m length. You'd need 2 x lengths (mine was cut to 1.8m and used 3.5 sheets cut to this size so 2 x 5m should be fine with a bit left over. So all in around £20.

I put up 3 batons one at each end and in the middle and fixed to these to hold it up.

#48 Re: Camper Conversions » My diy Citroen Dispatch conversion - so far » 2016-07-06 21:42:33

My dad's a Window and connie fitter and gets his hands on it. I believe it's called 'hollowclad' and connects together (push fit but secured with a few screws). No idea of the cost as I pinched it from him but is very easy to work with.

#49 Re: Camper Conversions » My diy Citroen Dispatch conversion - so far » 2016-07-06 21:02:49

So to my mind the van is now 95% complete. I'm going to add some Tibetian prayer flags to the interior (to add colour around the top and in front of the white units). Since the last update I added in my 'adventure' books to stir tell imagination while away and created a bespoke map box to hold my various os maps. Also included pictures of the bed assembled to its fullest - when I'm with bike ill use just 2 of the long cushions to accommodate my bike.

I toyed with the idea of a rock and roll bed but decided against as you say to give me the flexibility of having the bike inside while sleeping. You're right regards having to have the other door open to retrieve the other cushions to make up the bed. Shouldn't be much of an issue as I can have them out and inside in just a few seconds. Advantage of this is when my wife and son comes along we can use the full width but when it's just me then it can be used 2/3 size (to accommodate the bike).
