Had a service, coolant change, a wiring issue sorted and fitted a tow-bar recently
Very pleased with the result.

OK so I'm having a bit of a struggle to get behind the dash - I have dropped out the 'glove' box and can see the LH side wiring but nothing there. I can't see a way of removing the blanking slot fitted above the dealer fitted Kenwood radio. Any ideas anyone?

flipping heck!!! that was cheap!! the club price for one of these is £140.00 PLUS fitting

The lb is sitting under the bonnet with no connections to anything else and looking very old. I have no idea if I have a split charger or even which zig? Don't know what a wiring loom is. As you can read....I know not very much at all....this is all new to me and I'm not mechanically or electricall...

any updates, anyone?

:oops: thanks Geoff: It looked a lot different to the pic Simon posted - I really must get an eyetest (sigh) :lol: Haydn - The Landy alarm I made didn't have a float system, too much swaying about in them motors for that :shock: I have a feeling it used a 555 and a transistor ... must find diagram.

ummm .... well I would have thought that if it was pressurised it would have a pressure cap on it.
Looks like I need further information please

Hmmm I didn't think the system on the 2 litre petrol models was pressurised - I hope not 'cos I took a look in the header tank today

Thank you all for the info. I'll start pulling the dash out looking for a yellow RCA Plug for composite video now. Hopefully I'll be able to one and try it on one of the screens I have. Watch this space!

Thanks to all for the advice on getting a low coolant alarm. =D> I used to have one on my Land Rover some years ago which I remember was a fairly simple device to make and install into the header tank. I wonder if I've still got the design for it?. I see a commercial one mentioned a lot on here but ...

Anyone know where it would originally have been wired to? - and what wires went where and where to look f...

Hi - I've got an older Waeco B40 Hybrid AC/DC portable freezer & cool box. Very similar to the FR-35 but older technology. Runs the compressor on 230v or Thermoelectric on 12volt. It's very, very good, can't fault it (but very heavy @ 21kg) It can be used as a fridge or a freezer, but the freeze...

Thanks for that - but which of the two companies were you with?

Hi All, I've been reading lots about coolant alarms and I'd like some advice as I can't find the answer on here. As a new Bongo owner(I've probably only driven 200 miles since buying it last August) this year I intend to take it into Europe for some weeks. It's a 2 litre petrol that has an age of No...
