don't know if it helps but, I've been having a case of intermittent hold light this week (just as I'm about to sell her!!!), I disconnected the split charger relay, drove 60 miles and (currently) have no light on, all gears available etc etc had her up to 70mph.
Might be worth checking, my relay ...

Ok so:
1. bridge TEN/TAT to GDN with one wire
2. then bridge second wire (with led in series) between B+ and FEN/FAT?
3. read dashes and dots

Have I got that right???

thanks

going to check my hold light codes today. Read many posts that casually take about a "jumper cable" but to my shame I don't know what this is :oops: so It's time to expand my knowledge.

I'm guessing it isn't complicated but I don't really want to poke about with a lashed up selection of wires into ...

hi guys, hope (know) you can help~:
been through the search on "hold lights" and read the fact sheet and am now in a real panic.
After 7 great years with her it's time to sell the bongo, as soon as I put it in the ads she starts playing up.

Got an intermittent flashing hold light, sometimes it ...

just a final name check: on fitting the roof motors I failed to get everything lined up and the cable came whipping out on one side flailing about like a horses whatsit. Adrian at Japan Direct in Bury (0161 763 3003) provided the calming influence re loosen motor mounting plates, wiggle, jiggle and ...

finally managed to lift roof enough to wedge and get a hand in. Motors are screwed to the inside of the roof, (look up from the back) covers DID wiggle off, dropped motors (eventually) to find one full of water and slime, possibly even tadpoles, (that bit's a lie). managed to crack front of roof ...

ok hunt for a suitable long box spanner or a long enough deep socket came to nothing, so I cut a 100mm length of thick wall tubing, then ground 4 flats on one end and welded a (perfectly good, breaks my heart to do it, )12mm, half inch drive (although a quarter drive would have fitted) socket to the ...

I had a similar prob and removed screws, one at a time, as described. I needed to give mine, esp the top one a really good scrape esp between the threads with a penknife. On carefully screwing them back in the alarm went back to working as normal. hope this helps. worth getting it sorted rather than ...

ok after trying all the electrics and switches were good I was still struggling to get in at the motors (or even spot them despite using wedges to see under the roof)
I got the following info from "profdave"


"The manual indicates removing the roof but my van is outside so not possible

Well I ...

cheers for that looks like It's the head lining out.... but where are the aft hinges?

ok guys struggling here.

followed the link above and tried all the electrical stuff.
fuses good, handbrake switch good, aft unit good,
Then linked blue to green (1B to 1C) and Black to red (1A to 1D) on 4 way plug. wires get warm (drawing current?) but no movement. Leads me to think winter damp ...

looks top gen. will give it a go tomorrow.

thanks and happy bongoing to you all

top stuff thanks, will have a squint.

Hi guys, dusted of the bongo ready for spring and found the roof wont go up.
Beeper goes and there's a soft clunk from the rear of the roof at each side but no sound of motors coming into life.

checked fuses 10 and 12
hand brake switch working
gear selector in park.

any ideas would be very welcome ...

cheers fellas, worth a shot, will order another seal kit (oh the pain an aberdonian feels) and do it again..

off to Classic Le Mans tomorrow evening in a 1970's Marcos so it'll have to wait til I get back.

cheers top Bongo goers!
