C15 thread

I think I'll have to be pulling the driveshaft out again to swap inner part then if the swapping of the wheel end won't work. Or just self tap screw the sat navigation to the a pillar

Your mileage will probably increase faster than it should if the speedo is now over reading. Don't know if that's a concern though

Not a concern but I don't like it. Need to rectify it. I'm wondering if the speedo drive off the scrapper will make it read better. It's got the inner cylinder off scrap car but cogged wheel from c15, cog off the other one may help.

Right. Plan of action today is to nip to Scrapyard and get the speedo drive end to try and bring speedo closer to the true speed. Also have fitted the screen on the dash for rear camera and the camera will be fitted today to hopefully. After the clutch change I need to adjust the cable as it's very close to floor and difficult to engage second or first.

Now to find some packaging...

The cost was negligible as I got those plus a set of 4 Jazz flaps, Jazz carpet holder, Jazz 3.5mm AUX socket and 95% of the wiring and a cigarette lighter for an Ayrton. (Volvo OSR door cost me twenty)

 

Was someone else looking for rear doors?

That's great. Bloody cheap too for all those bits. In other news I've got the screen on dash and rear camera fitted. Also have the sat navigation wedged in front of speedo as it has died completely

You should have said you needed a bumper corner, I am sure I saw one on the A38 (dons helmet, whistles and walks away slowly).

Just make sure we bolt it in this time, wouldn't want to lose it after all........

Does anyone happen to know where I can get cables made up? Speedo snapped now and it's not available at motor factors and is NLA at citroen either. I'm in Derby so more local the better

Why do you need to sort the speedo out Bub? If you have got the sat nav is it something you can leave for a while?

I don't like nor trust sat nav speeds. I know they are more accurate but I'm just peculiar. Thanks for links too folks. The arse rot needs fixing double time before anything else though after I wired in rear camera yesterday. Looking a bit ropey.....

Well I'm so glad I fixed the van. A friend put me into someone moving house. Done 3 hours work with it and deducting trailer etc it's more than covered cost if bits.

Posted

Must admit i'm loving having a van too. If I'd known how cheap the insurance was I'd have done it ages ago. Always had a soft spot for the C15, used to deliver the motorhome versions when new and an old boss had one as a company run about. Great work on getting it fixed.

Posted

It's all going to come apart again at some point for speedo fix. I haven't got any hours at work next week so really need to get some jobs in else I'm screwed

Posted

As for insurance, I pay 35 a month less than I paid on the kia for goods in transit, hire and trailer cover

Rear doors on mine are actually in good form. Seals aren't the best though. And the driver seat has nearly bust now.

Bub, how do you get your business, is it through word of mouth only?

 

I'm confident that if a few of us here pooled our resources regarding a website, a little SEO and some marketing expertise, you could potentially be a lot busier.

Posted

Basically Word of mouth, business cards in shops, a Facebook page and well planned parking!

Any good?

 

Theres a listing for a genuine C15/CX with part number 75513020 which might be useful for cross reference.

 

Alternative http://www.speedograph-richfield.com/ localish to you.

 

Is it easy to remove?

 

I had a custom cable made up by Speedograph Richfield, quickly and cheaply. I too had heard good things about Speedy Cables, but they never replied to my email :-(
