Is there anyway I could own an offline wiring manual please, it would be useful to keep in the bongo and not just on the Internet. Flash unfortunately is like every other language, served the purpose of it's time and is now disappearing... along with support fot it, pdf or html5 is today's choice bu...

I would just like to say thank you to all the people who have been involved in the creation of this club and it's website, especially to some of the brains behind everything... I have just clicked on the level of detail that some of you have gone too! A HUGE personal thank you to Mr Geoff Mather for...

Welcome Danny, the wire in question in the 2nd photo looks like it could be the winter pack solenoid (not required/wanted/needed) Glad to see someone else going for the 96, the 'better off having' one in my opinion :lol: please make sure you check underneath regarding sills and rear beam on these sl...

Thanks, it had too be done... Looked ugly once the nice looking kitchen is in so it will blend in nice now and hide the horrid humps. I sussed where I was going wrong eventually thanks to a diesel spec's website data sheet, it said... "wlt 1mm second marker"... Second marker?!!! Ooh look, a second m...

http://perlsol.co.uk/bongo/bongowinterpackwires.jpg The light green is the one that tells the ECU the dashboard winter pack switch is on. The red must supply a ground/earth to the winter pack solenoid from the ECU when triggered (I never did get mine to trigger!), the IGN/ACC live is already presen...

I suspect that if your asking for something in excess of the average at the time say >£8000 then you will be asked to have an impartial valuation, which will be primarily concerned with the value of the vehicle itself, any addon's which can be removed, lost damaged do not come into the valuation. I...

Hello @Cardiff, we're not far down the road from you
Ifcyou must take your bongo to a "local garage" ask them if they how to bleed a bongo before you even get out the van... Many engine's have died due to lack of knowledge.
Good luck and hope you enjoy ownership

I can only suggest finding an insurer who will cover Bongy on an 'agreed value' policy and see what they will (er) agree to. Possibly their engineer would need to inspect the vehicle first? Good luck. 8) Thanks Bob, 100% no doubt that it will be an agreed value, but what value is the question... it...

Since taking out the loom i have found some unidentified object's... I will post pics later, maybe you might be kind enough to shed some light as too what these are please, appreciate your help on this issue

I luckily don't need to go in there too deep, i just followed the wire/track in question that went to a transistor and off to an ic and that was enough for me ;) Once i have also established the wires for the switch led, i will post a picture of what to cut and join for anyone else who wishes to use...

Thanks for diagram, I will have to look later when on pc, this phone is about as obsolete as the mk1 There is more to it... The light in the switch, it is not connected to livr to just say it's on, it also goes back to the ecu so may represent a warning/feature of its own...who knows what's going on...

... I really don't want to unpick a bongo loom :^o Well at least you all know what I have been upto today! Cut's on hands, tape everywhere... following the light green wire on the switch that sends power somewhere... Is actually Lgreen/yellow band and this goes off to the ecu, unknown pin no. But i...

Appreciate the reply, I assumed the same, but as mentioned previously the wire colours change, I was wondering if it was linked to the variable resistor sensor on the egr in some way... When fully warmed up winter pack would no longer be required so could so that could disabled it maybe... It's 100%...

As some/most of you are aware, I have neared the end of a 1996 bongo restoration and was wondering what to value it as for the insurance. I know what I have spent on it :shock: and then there is the 2 years of labour with an average of 12 hours a day. Quick recqp, nearly everything underneath is min...

Can anyone please explain EXACTLY what happens when said switch is on, there is a light green wire from the switch that gets 12v when on, yet at the winterpack control solenoid we have a red and black... Black is ignition live and red is NOT earth, neither of these change status when switch changed ...
