The Bongo is 1997.
The coolant seems ok. Its 3/4 full and i am checking regularly.
I haven't an alarm fitted yet, only owned for a month.
I originally didn't put it down to coolant leak because of the location, so never thought of that.
Will keep checking and making a note of levels.
Thanks

Re: Puddle of water
I am having my air-conditioning serviced and recharged tomorrow as it seems empty. So hasn't been on.
The rear heaters are still in place. So I suppose I should look at how to get to them and check them out for any sign of corrosion

Puddle of water
Hi All,
Loving my new bongo adventures.
I have noticed the last couple of days a small puddle on the drivers side right near the gap for the door.
I have noticed when i put my hand underneath this is also damp. Directly above this area is the sink and water bottles. These areas inside seem to be dry ...

Re: Jump Starting
Thanks for all the help. I currently have it charging via mains. Going to get it full and then see what happens.
If it drops, then so does the bank account for a new battery
Thanks again all

Re: Jump Starting
Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!
I jump started successfully last night. Ran for Half an hour.
Went out to see this morning and battery flat again.
Must be a drain somewhere. Any ideas or general drains people know of?

Re: Jump Starting
Hi NTH,
I was always taught never to go direct to battery for fear of sparking etc.

Re: Funky red switch
Nitro booster sounds much more exciting, but i bet your right, it probably is just the Fog Light.

Re: Jump Starting
Looks like being a newbee it might be worth investing in something like this so it doesn't happen whilst in the middle of a field

Re: Jump Starting

Hi All,
The bongo newbee here again,
I have a super looking switch on the dash. Its like the James Bond ejector switch (the red one you have to flick up to expose a silver switch underneath)
I am guessing this has something to do with switching between charging the leisure battery and the main ...
