C15 thread

Recommended Posts

Seeing as this gained a bit of interest when it was raffled i thought id start a thread on it. So far so good. Clutch is fantastic, very light which im surprised at after my last citroen diesel being so heavy. Steering isnt too bad either to say its not powered too. I love tge basic simplicity of the van but the heater controls took some deciphering. Fuel economy is outstanding. Currently done 135 mile on 15 quid and the light has just come on. It has already recovered a stricken kia up the road back home after the gearbox called it quits completely too.

Today i have tinkered with the non functioning interior lights. Driver door switch still not fantastic but the passenger door one works a charm. Its surprisingly spacious inside,i think its slightly longer than the escort and definitely higher.

Bits to do as follows

Change tyres

Change cambelt and auxiliary belts

Little spot of welding on the back passenger side

Sort the bit of surface rust on the inner arches under the bonnet and general clean of tge engine bay

External paint blemishes/rust patches to remedy

Drivers door check strap and door lock

Interior fan non functioning.

Question for any owners of a c15 or who knows the vans.

Where is the interior fan located? Ive had a look under the dash but nothing stands out. Its the first job im going to attempt tomorrow as i think it needs a strip and clean. Its hot enough in there when its moving just stationary traffic and no air flow makes it a bit cold

Also can i get a bulkhead for these? Bulkhead and a bit of lining in the back will help no end towards insulating the van a bit. Pics to follow as and when i can upload them. Cheers folks for reading.

This was sooooo tempting. Ran various scenarios in my mind to secure teh c15 ( many thanks holbeck and mr 6c for humouring me) and offered various unappealing deals to the vendor but it was not to be.

 

Glad it's gone to a good home and look forward to updates re teh c15.

Thanks dave. Fusebox looks ok. Fan works but slowly and only if you hit the dashboard with palm of hand! And yes it has gone to a good home. I will give the van the attention it needs. Its not just a mide of transport but it will actually earn money too so its in all best interests for it to look decent and be reliable.

When I used to suffer driving one of these hateful things for work the fan was haunted.

 

I had to turn the ignition on, stick the fan on full & wait for it to rev up & spin for a few secs. It then worked after starting the van, if I just started it the fan didn't work for about 3 hours.

Drop it out and clean the oily fluff out of the motor, give it a wee spot of grease and it should be fine. IIRC its just three nuts holding them in place.

 

Half-height bulkheads can be had....I dont think I have ever seen a factory full height one, usually its just a DIY job with plywood I see.

0.44 cubic metres smaller than a berlingo. Its narrower slightly in the back than the escort but more load space. Regarding fuses,according to the owners handbook the fuses are under the bonnet household shape,in mine they are under the dash and blade type. The owners book doesnt say anything about the 1868cc (dw8?) engine either. Maybe it didnt get updated.

So far the stereo has been changed,ive a full compliment of interior lights and the fan works fine. Ive noticed one headlight bulb fits fine and its a big round bulb but the other is a h4 just perched in. Headlights look corroded inside anyway so possible new ones if i can find them
