Moved the leisure battery under the bonnet. Pulled a load of wiring out and ran new wires to run the fridge straight off the leisure battery and it finally works. Interior led lights now work but the car/van switch illuminates on car even though only. The leisure battery is connected so I'll have to ...

Unless you have a special requirement for extra power than a single 110AmpHr battery up the front is by far the best option, trying to balance charge and discharge rates across separate batteries in different locations is a bugger to achieve and keep good life to the batteries, it will all work ...

ill make a start tomorrow. im considering removing the second sb and replacing with my lb, or another lb and running the lbs i parralell with a split charge kit from the starter battery to the leisure battery in the front, which would charge the two leisure batteries? does this sound right? its all ...

Yea I am. I've barely driven it so far and don't plan on using it again until I've replaced the necessary parts

Thanks for the quick reply.im going to order a new, genuine thermostat and rad hose to replace and hopefully that will solve the issue. i need to send an email regarding my membership/discount on the shop as my paypal email address is different to my forum email address, but thats another issue

HI we have just bought our first bongo. its a 1997 2.5d aft. there doesnt seem to be much wrong with it but one thing i have noticed is that the temperature gauge drops when travelling above about 30/40mph. its off the gauge when driving on the motorway and the heaters are cold. driving around town ...
