Re: Wheels again

Yes apparently they all have a centre bore of 67.1, not sure I will go for the ferrari wheels but the kia sportage or hyundai x35 seem a good choice as these are heavy cars with 99h weight tyre as standard

Wheels again

Hi

I currently have a bongo aero with the standard 15" alloys on but these have slight corrosion so either looking to get them refurbished or might fancy a change to something bigger, maybe 17"

From this list I can see many manufacturers use the same fitment my question is if the offset is a lower ...

Re: Selecting reverse blows 'meter fuse

Yes rear lights and reverse lights work fine when fuse not blown.

I do have a tow bar fitted and did ask auto electrician if this could be a source of the problem as it's has been mentioned on other threads but he assured me it does not have a reverse light feed apparently.

Re: Selecting reverse blows 'meter fuse

Thanks for you suggestions!

In terms of the reverse beeping the last owner disconnected the module down by the drivers right foot so no beeps at all. I did connect it back up last year because I got caught out with leaving the lights on but had to disconnect again as I could not stop the beeping ...

Re: Selecting reverse blows 'meter fuse

The only thing I have done recently was to remove the drivers door speaker (to measure and eventually build a custom mdf pod) which was just to unclip the connector so no live bare wires and also the radio which was swapped out last year runs off the leisure battery. I did also install a radio kill ...

Re: Selecting reverse blows 'meter fuse

Hi

Its a 2001 v6 petrol AFT and the fuse box in question is the one in the cab by right knee.

It controls the dashboard at least as everything on the instrument panel stops working, rev counter, dash lights etc but bongo still drives but in limp mode when fuse goes, if engine turned off it will ...
