Thanks everyone, I've tried reproducing the jet and can't. I think I'll end up stripping the system and see what I find.

Okay bear with me...setting the scene.

About a week ago I was cruising at about 2200rpm, water temp was stable at the 11 o clock position. I selected the air source on the heater (manual type) to recirc. After a short time the water temp rose quickly to V High, after a momentary delay I was just ...

Having returned from pastures 'cold' I thought I'd provide an update as to how the Bongo got on. Before I do, thanks to all for opinions and advice.

Coldest night was -21'C so not quite as cold as previous years. Bongo was left out every night.

Each morning I went through the same routine ...

Thanks all,

Got it working it was a missing wire in the Zig unit.

Does anyone have this model of fridge in their van. I'm having trouble getting it to work.

Thanks guys,

I'll follow the links you've pointed out....as to buying a newer van, I couldn't get rid of Bertie. Eventhough I haven't had him long he's become part of the family.

Maybe I should just do a mechanics course and become self sufficient?

Cheers
Phil

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a decent break down/recovery cover company that cover Europe. Bertie is on a 'N' plate 1995. I've tried the usual market comparison but nobody seems to want to quote, I'm guessing because of his age!

Thanks,
Phil

Thanks everyone.

Anyone fitted or know of anyone who has fitted head lamp washers?

Or... If anyone could suggest a compatible unit?

Thanks

Phil

Thanks everybody,

Helen.. Thanks for a very detailed and informative post. I'm committed to taking the Bongo! I've got a few more ideas that may help if it gets really cold so I guess watch this space.

Sorry Chipvan... I'm being slow...will not do what? I only want it to melt the crystal that pass through the diesel therm...just prior to the filter...sp they melt and allow a free flow of diesel to the injectors.

Why won't it work?

Thanks for the replies but I'm a little confused... It's to pre-heat the diesel in extremely cold temperatures... If the OAT gets below -20'C I turn the system on manually in the cab. It melts the paraffin crystals in the fuel lines before they get to the fuel filter and clog it. It's got a ...

So... After lots of searching and deliberating I've had the ATG diesel therm fitted. System seems like it should work well with a heating unit up flow just before the fuel filter. Off to Bavaria in a couple of weeks. Hopefully I won't end up chugging to a stop as I have the last 3 out of 4 years!

Matt,

How did you get on...any pictures yet? I'd be interested to see if I could copy you as apparently my rear control is behind the fridge?

Regards,
Phil

It's not often that I trust garages or have received a service I would comment on in a favourable manner.... However, I recently had the pleasure of dealing with a company called 321 Away.

They are Bongo specialists. They converted the rear seating arrangement for me, fitted a splitter for a the ...
