Re: Shifter cable adjustment.

My gear shifter won't lock in Park, and for some reason I don't need to use the break peddle either.......

Re: Handbrake light not lit…..no beeping no roof

Hiya guys I'm facing same issue when working on my starter motor ( long story ) I thought it may of been the wire connectors stopping me from starting Van-Diresel up, but looks like it's the start of a solanoid issue, upon checking I noticed I didn't need the foot break to take it out of Park so I t...

Re: Respray or vinyl wrap?

Interesting post with a few good but different responses, I wrapped my bongo 10 years ago by hand ( Myself ) and to this day it still looks good, granted in some places it has lifted and started to peel back from years of various sun projected heat, but as mb next Mot is in March 24 iv decided to ge...

Re: Battery light always on!

If I could buy the whole brush unit ( I don't know the name of it) then I'd gladly order one an...

There is a feed to the alternator field coils via the 30 Amp Headlamp fuse also on the arm which physical position it is depends on the engine ...
