Evening all,

A low starter battery voltage had happened recently and the auto electrician we took it to (who not long ago installed the alarm/immobiliser and swap loom) tested the alternator and said this was faulty and was the cause of the batteries being low on charge...he replaced the alternator ...

Thats brilliant,

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated!

Hi folks,

Looking to find out what the part I need to get fitted that allows the electrics in the car to run without the engine or ignition on...I believe it may be called an "electrical bypass kit" or something similar.

Have just had the leisure battery isolated recently, so looking to add this ...

Great!

Yes, exhaust manifold/turbo cover, thats the one. I've ordered a replacement one as the van we've not long had was missing it and the spare part doesn't come with any bolts.

Thanks again, teenmal!

Dont suppose anyone knows what size the 3 or more bolts are that hold the turbo heat shield on are?

Thanks

Thats great, guys. Many thanks for the replies!

Hi there,

Girlfriend has recently bought a 1999 Bongo, a 2.5TD, rear wheel drive, automatic.

The tyres on it when she bought it are 205/70 R15C on steel wheels. Is there any reason the previous owner would have fitted these rather than say 215/65 R15s, which seem to be the standard/most commonly ...
