Take care

It was the inhibitor in the gear box, it was stopping it from starting presumably vecause it thought it was in gear at all times. The connections were very badly water damaged and rusted

This Is now resolved. Thanks

Anyone know much about gearbox codes? I don't have access to my bongo at the moment and need the serial/code.

It's an 2.5td auto 2wd 1997 model. Did they differ at all? Thanks in advance.

In talks with them but not having a great deal of luck currently. Thanks

Still searching for one of these. No-one on ebay is willing to separate from gearbox sadly.

That particular IS carries BV8419444 part number, this is used on all models up to aprox 1999 then an updated BW0119444 was used. Take care Wow thank you! My mechanic said there was no part number on and that he wouldn't be able to get through general parts companies. Would you agree? I'm strugglin...

Right, so I ended up taking to me local garage who have sussed it to be a connector in the inhibitor switch. Wiring was corroded and a pin had snapped off. Just trying to source a replacement now! I need to get the gearbox code but don't have access to the vehicle at the moment annoyingly! Will get ...

I have a spare box with a good one on? How desperate are you and how much are you willing to pay? I could remove it you. Falling that are any other pins the same? I have a Bongo with no engine and box. I might be able to get you another pin and a length of wire? Marc Hi, thanks for the speedy reply...

Hi everyone, I'm after the switch that stops the auto bongo from starting in gear. I'll attach some pictures below to help. As you can see one of the pins in the male connector has snapped and is corroded. Ideally need the plug that attaches also with about 20cm of wiring. Thanks in advance https://...

Hi Tobybongo I am still interested and that's a great find. Just need to get myself on Facebook now. :lol: To be honest i have been threatening to for a while so may just have to bite the bullet.

sorry thats better as you get a new plunger as well

Hi, plunger and contacts have already been replaced..thanks.

Check for a good connection to both terminal 30 (batt live) and terminal 50 (exciter) of starter. Earth's and exciter might be okay but main cable might have a high resistance. That could be why it can't fully engage and then rotate. Hi, cleaned up both bath terminals. Is terminal 50 one of the two...

have you tested it with a known good battery or had the existing batt drop/load tested. it could be reading 12 plus volts but have no amps No I haven't tested with a good battery. Would jumping from another vehicle not rule that out? As I tried that and no luck. Also when it does decide to start it...
