Re: Should my fridge work this way?

You should find that there are TWO fuses accompanying the Split Charge Relay, one fuse close to each battery connected to the relay. When one fuse blows the other fuse will also have been about to blow as well the two are in series so it is important that BOTH fuses are replaced otherwise the other...

Re: Should my fridge work this way?

More investigation reporting: I don't have the problems I thought it did. The Zig car/caravan battery switch ONLY comes into play when the right-most Charger setting is set to On-site. If this is left in the Towing position, both batteries are in play, I'm guessing since it keeps the split charger c...

Re: 2.0ltr replacement starter battery

Yes its fine, there are others available but the quality is fine, you can go for a lower capacity & cheaper if cost is factor. Below is my normal post; Bosch S4 335/028/249 Yuasa 5335 Typical Capacity is 95 Amp Hours, Typical Dimensions 306L x 175W x 225H A search on Tayna batteries www.tayna.c...

Re: 2.0ltr replacement starter battery

The Bosch S4 335 is fine for all types of Bongo engine. This post is a few years old now, but I notice the Bosch S4 335 Car Battery is still available to buy. My question is whether it's still the best option to replace my starter battery, which no longer holds charge at all well. For details and t...

Re: Identify - Black box under dash

Oh, that's great news.
Maybe I'll try to get to it to see if it's an expired battery in the unit which is giving off the beeps....then tell the insurance company about it.

Cheers muchly.

Identify - Black box under dash

Hi, I wonder if any of you experts can identify the black box which site under my dash, which beeps if battery power is low and keys are OUT of ignition. That specific beeping stops when the key is turned to the "On" position. It also stops when I unplug one of the sockets connected to it,...

Re: Should my fridge work this way?

Hi Tuttiweb, Did you ever resolve this issue? I have just bought a 2002 Bongo myself. The advert said that the fridge was faulty, and that the likely problem was a faulty compressor that needed replacing. I've taken it to a specialist today who, after 2 hours of his time, has managed to get the fri...

Re: Should my fridge work this way?

Thank you.

As I thought then, what happened, shouldn't have been able to happen and it's likely that my fridge is incorrectly wired.

Should my fridge work this way?

Hi all, Firstly, I have a Zig CF9 alongside a Vitrifrigo C42L fridge system installed in the van, and my fridge works. But, should the fridge work all of the time, even when the 12v rocker switch on the Zig is set to the off position? I only discovered this was happening when I recently returned for...

Can you let us know the model of rack and box which works for you please?

Re: Racks / Boxes / Storage

I'll dig a bit deeper into rear racks! Where did you end up with this please? I’m looking to add a storage box mounted on a rear tailgate bike rack too, but all the model racks and boxes I see in the recommendations are old and discontinued, There must be some around that will fit and do the job ni...

Re: Headlights

Got the tester on this today.

Juice getting to the connector, so possibly a blown bulb coincidence.

Just need to work out how to change them now.
