- We have recently purchased a 2005 Citroen Dispatch to convert into a small camper. This is episode one of the journey where we travel to Peterborough on train to collect our van. Subscribe to follow along on our adventures.
Thanks for watching!
Eventful journey back up north! Looking forward to more videos on Doug's new found life!!!
Yay can't wait for more vids!!!!!! Just bought a 65 plate Dispatch myself so looking forward to seeing what you do to yours.
Thanks! Glad you've enjoyed the videos so far. Good luck with your Dispatch, It's been really fun to convert so far!
Mines a 2002 had it 10 years drives like new with 93000 miles and still working for me painting and decorating.
Love Doug, ive been welding Van_dross ready to convert
And so the adventure begins
Just subscribed, looking forward to your build.
Thanks! Should have a new video up after this weekend!
Sounds like a fun COVID project. All the best!
You picked a good motor there.i have the Peugeot expert its not one broken down once in 12 years
The Dispatch, Expert and Scudo vans are great little vans for conversion, looking forward to see how yours turns out.....I'm sure you've got plans but if you're interested there's a couple of conversions I did on my channel that might give you ideas.
We'll definitely have a look! Always good to get inspiration. Thanks for the sub!
im debating between one of these and a berlingo
We love the dispatch. The shape of the back gives us plenty of room to work with. Hope you find one that suits your needs!
@@dougthedispatch1902 is the dispatch the same as the jumpy?
Light commercials such as this are restricted to 50mph single carriageways, 60mph dual carriageways, 70mph motorways. If the road signs are green it’s a dual carriageway, motorways have blue signs.
That van is deffo a diesel van and that aint a MOTORWAY!
Hello guys anything to look out for when buying a dispatch I’m looking at one now
I'd probably suggest buying one that has good mileage on it. Also the condition of the body work is something important to look out for. And also what it was used for before will determine the condition of the inside. Hope you find one, they're great
You are only supposed to be 60MPH in a van on the A1 on non motorway sections
pretty E not gonna lie
Those vans are known for lock and heater problems
Luckily we've had no such problems... So far 😂
And cold start issues
@@stephenreynolds6239 glow plugs, they don't last long maybe 40k miles if you're lucky. Other than that they're just personality. But super car running costs and they're always on their last legs. Trust me I've kept my one from the crusher for over three years now. Wouldn't want to replace it and with what? Pug diesel is legendary. Non Turbo is the best. My one is a nice shade of yellow.
I've replaced the blower motor on mine, the switch just needs to be fettled.
