:D :D :D Well pooh bear you were spot on,was the alternator.Fitted new one fired her up and the readings are great about 14.0 to 14.3. We live and learn with our Bongo,s.But i wouldnt have it anyother way.One thing is a must.When you have a Bongo you have to be a member of BONGO FURY.I don,t know we...

Hi there got my last one from there in 2010.Thought i would get a bit longer than a couple of year out of it.But its out of warranty.Had no bother upto now.Spoke to the lad on the phone not 1 hour ago.I will keep you informed.When i spoke to him he said yes the bongo,s tend to hammer the alternators...

:( Hi there people.Going down the new alternator road.Took readings this morning,not that impressed.12.8 on tickover,13.5 ish upto 15v when revved.Left standing for 2 hours.12.5v then struggled to make 14v.Bit the bullet and bought one.£135 from a well known company.Hope this does the trick. :?: [-o...

:( :( Hi there people.Got a bit of a problem.Think it is my split charger.Over the past week or two i have noticed that the voltage coming from the alternator was not going up as quick as it used to.I have a volt meter conected to the LB.It would drop down to about 11.5v then steady rise up to 14.2v...

Hi there people could anyone give me a bit of advice on how to test my willinton split charger.Just recent it has been making a clicking noise when i am at a stand still with engine ticking over,i am getting 13 to 14 vollt at LB terminals.The noise i have heard before but only when i have been campe...

Sorry Stuc,would have done that,but needed them done quickly.I had two spare in garage.Turns out there were three out anyway so i am ordering new one,s.Even with the three working it started no probs at all.If your stuck i will try and get some time and show you the crack.No probs,thanks. :wink: =D>

Thanks for advice,can get 85mm one,s for about £36 going to look into the spacer route.Is it just the top of the plug that is a different length and the rest of the plug the same.When i replaced last time i went through the same dilema.Wanted to buy the 85mm but didnt dare lol.Thanks again

Well seam to have found a problem,3 out of 4 glow plugs not working.I suppose that would do it.Just trying to source a set of 101mm ones.Looking like £51.00from e-bay.Any suggestions anyone.Many thanks.

Yes easy to do,going to look at mine now,between my work.The only thing to worry about is the lentgh of plug you need.Mine is the longer of the two.The rear cylinder is the arkward one,even then it is not to bad.Do job in half hour.Get fact sheet off here and you cannot go wrong.Hope this does the j...
