Phil McFadden Diagnostic page ...

The old Diagnostics page that Phil McFadden ran has gone from the web, fortunately the WayBackMachine has preserved a copy which I have brought down to my pages available here;

Re: Digital Heater query

First if the Thermostat was stuck closed then you would find that you would be overheating, provided you took it for a decent run! If the the thermostat as stuck fully open then normally you will find that the temperature stays quite low even after a good run (greater than 20 minutes say). However ...

Re: Cooked ECU

The diagrams for the ECU's were never completed, the boards became multi-layer and there were lots of versions released with no documentation as to changes available :-( The general wiring diagrams are still available in Flash format and there are still browsers available which will display them see ...

Yes the charger is intelligent and will drop down thru various states till its Float charge where it is just maintaining the current state of the battery.

Re: How Many Members?

Indeed, time is taking its toll on a lot of us!
Doubt I will be doing many more actual overnight camping trips, knees don't appreciate walking on uneven ground anymore! Suspect I'll still be around on a day trip basis however 😀

Re: Double din original stereo upgrade - help needed re wiring adaptors

Don't gamble on cheap Android units! Too many have and then found that there cheap because Android is designed for Phones which aren't switched off merely the display, the rest keeps running with the consequence that your LB is flattened in no time when your parked up. Better quality Android units ...

Re: Double din original stereo upgrade - help needed re wiring adaptors

I think you will need to look in the Manual to find out what the other connectors are for, the Bongo won't have the wiring for them existing they will need to be fitted to connect to the other external devices. You don't say what make or model the device is so I would suggest a google search for ...

Re: Coolant leak repair help please

HI, common problem, but you don't say which engine, the piping varies a bit between them, however is it a metal pipe or a rubber pipe? Simpler if its a rubber pipe or a seal to a metal pipe that has failed! Best to check the diagrams for the cooling system and/or rear heater from the diagrams ...

Re: Gearbox and hello!

Welcome aboard!

You will probably find a spare gearbox from one of the companies below, not quite sure where your based so have a look around and ring these sites, probably best to ring them as stock often changes and web sites take a few days (or longer ;-) ) to get updated!
