Thanks Geoff

That's reassuring.
I thought it would be ok but wanted to get a second opinion.

I like the look of the meter. Been using the Blue Tooth App of the MMPT but that looks better for tracking the actual charge state.

Plus everyone likes a gadget

Thanks

Hi all

Over the summer i finally got around to installing a solar set up using a 130w panel and Vicron MPPT 75/10

I have been very pleased with it and was planning leaving it on all winter just to keep the battery topped up rather than me having to remember to charge the LB every 3-4 weeks or so ...

Isn't a Bongo even smaller and narrower than a Delica?
I could be wrong but always thought it was a bigger vehicle and based on a Showgun / Pajero running gear?

I Don't want to put you off a Bongo they are great and I love mine. But as they are up to 30 years old so do need looking after in all ...

I wonder if you are using a Swap loom to move devices like radio, cigarette lighters and interior lights to the leisure battery.
If you are this also moves some of the ECU power I believe. so if your Leisure batter is going flat that would cause all sorts of issues as Gilly99 says.

It sounds like ...

Thank you Bob.

I did thing about these as it was where my van was originally from. Not by me.

In the end i just used a local MOT place. happy to say it passed with just one very minor advisory (ball joint boot on a drop link).

I do try and keep on top of everything so I shouldn't worry but do

My old trusty MOT station is no longer operating.

Are there any Bongo friendly MOT Garages in Cheshire or the North West.

Happy to travel but want to go to Bongo experienced place if possible.

I have had a quick look at the members area list but not sure how in date that is

Thanks
Ian

I assume you have aftermarket white dials.
I have seen these used to adjust the back light colour and brightness.

Surprised any exhausts built to standard specification would be any nosier than a standard one. Only if a silencer has been removed or replaced with straight through type would I expect it to be significantly noisier.

I would check if its touching the bodywork anywhere or maybe blowing somewhere ...

Hi.

Yes it looks like one of these.

Hi

No still waiting for the insurance to give me the ok or not. They are dragging there feet a little.

I have had a quote from a trusted body shop that can repair it for about 2k so i would hope thats going to be ok.

No mine is Green and Silver Auto Free Top

Good advice

I will do that. Things are moving quite slowly at the moment. hasn't even been assessed yet

Thanks guys.

I will speak to Bongo Spares. I guess its just a matter of knowing what the insurance will let me do.
keeping fingers crossed.

Loch Lomond was great stayed in Luss which I can recommend though it was very busy because of the nice weather

Thanks
Ian

Its not a post I wanted to make.

My poor old Bongo was hit while on holiday in Lock Lomond. Over 900 miles of issue free motoring in less than a week apart from the bump.

The damage is relatively light being the rear quarter behind the rear wheel, rear bumper and tail light. Though I am a bit ...

I have had issues with my Aircon since having a bit of welding done.
Understandable because of the rear heater being removed.

I have used with some success the home refill kits but this time though it pressurises and all seems to work. fan and compressor kicks in. it isnt cooling. in fact when I ...

Very interesting there are that many with the right bore as well.
Great work on that research and thanks for sharing

Shame the Ferrari wheels are not strong enough
