A few thoughts on servicing...

Having stopped servicing my own cars a couple of years ago I thought that servicing the Dispatch would be within my capability.
Oil change: FRAM PH5566A filter, the sump plug is 21mm and has a Torx fitting as well, I jacked up the drivers side to get better access, the filter is better accessed from below with a convential filter wrench, fairly straight forward but next time I'll make the effort to get a sump plug washer
Air Filter; BOSCH S2200, held by four screws, easy job
Fuel Filter; FRAM C10777ECO, there are two types fitted I believe, my motor factor kindly gave me both types to try, an electrical connection plug is removed simply by unplugging, there are three fuel pipes, note where they are fitted before removal, there is a white or green coloured tab which is depressed to remove them, remove the top of the filter housing using an oil filter wrench, there are special tools available, the seal sits in the rim of the housing, replace this with the one in your new kit, drain the fuel bowl and remove any dirt/water from the bottom (next time I'll buy a cheap turkey baster to do this), carefully reassemble, turn on the ignition four or five times to refill the fuel bowl then start as normal

I just thought I'd post this if it's any use to other owners.

I was under the impression all fuel filter housing were the same. Big plastic ring clip to keep the top on. Undo and off it pops. You should also have a prime to fill it back up rather than turning over the motor.

I think that there were two different systems used, mine is a Siemens system I think (just switching the ignition on and off a few times without turning it over will fill the bowl) and has no manual pump, the Bosch system has a pump fitted and can be primed in the normal way.

I was having a similar thought to Casper on fuel filter dept...... Then I came to the conclusion that you have the HDI ! and not a DW8 in your van

Oh, just to say I paid £39.24 for all three filters and 5l of Valvoline 10W40 semi synth, which I didn't think was too bad.
