The Dispatch | Expert | Scudo Hub

Cheers Casper - Flarum is free & open-source and the migration route makes that platform very attractive. It looks like it will come out of BETA this year. Only thing I pay for here is hosting and the adverts cover that.

Hmm .. I *think* the following describes my fuse setup (dispatch 2006) - I'd go and check but I still haven't managed to get my bonnet open! ....

This would place the Heater Blower fuse under the bonnet at MF3 position - and I'm pretty sure that sounds right for me.

I'd agree with Vaz - try the MAF first as there's no harm in doing so.

Disconnect the MAF sensor plug (comes out right-hand-side of the exit pipe from the air filter - disconnecting this does not cause engine light to come on on my HDi despite reports to the contrary) go for a drive, and if the problem goes away - then replace the MAF (you can get them cheap on ebay, mixed reviews but some swear by them) or £85 from EuroCarParts.

It's safe to leave it disconnected in the meantime if it makes you happier - worst that will happen is that your MPG will go down a fraction - but I've never found it to be a noticeable change.

Success! Two years without a heater finally sorted out with an hour's graft 

Bought a resistor for just £21 as per OAT's good advice: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CITROEN-JUMP … 1438.l2649

Shuggs - thanks a million - your instructions were spot on. Only thing for me was that I had to hack-saw off a bit of [unused] plastic bracket at the back of the fusebox as the motor wasn't going to come out while that was there.

Maybe there was another way - but no harm done!

I have a sneaking suspicion that the spade connectors were perhaps already disconnected before I got the motor out. I had to tighten both quite a bit when connecting the new one so they were secure. So that might have been the issue all along. The old resistor was a mess though and the new part was there to go in so off we went.

Such a great feeling to have warm air flowing in the van again!

Ta muchly all for your help.

Oh Jeezo that looks bloody amazing.

Really kind of you to put a shout out to us OAT 

Sadly I work weekdays so can't make it on this occasion - next time!

Exactly this! The door closes very snugly, the bolt extends fully and there's no obvious play in any direction but the back doors pop out within 5 minutes of leaving the house.

I've never been able to fathom it.  I'm now considering adding an additional bolt as Casper suggested.

Holy shit Casper what a mission!

Respect as always for your dedication and workmanship!

And thanks for sharing it all with us

Hope the trip's a blast!

Yep sorreeee folks ...

This happened before where this site suffered badly from slow responses to page requests.

Both the hosts and myself tried to get to the bottom of it last night until at one point, it just started behaving again.

Apologies again - will try to keep a bit more of an eye on things!

Tiree

Hah! No way - yeah Jem's been looking for a while and I was going to pass on your ebay link to him (I only saw it today) but he's beaten me to it!

Hope it works out

Oh no!

Hope you still come and visit 

Replacement?

All the best!

Well I've moved to the Castle Douglas area for a start, which has been a big and very welcome move. Been in Glasgow for 20 years and have loved it to bits but was ready to move to a more rural location.

Broke my ankle coming off a hill on Kerrera, a wee island just off Oban. Missed the last ferry so got patched up by an emergency nurse and spent the night in the Dispatch.

4 days in hospital and 3 hours in surgery.

Home now and being well looked after

Fandan.
