Have to agree below 11v on a battery is a bad sign especially on a diesel, as you have the glowplugs and higher compression to overcome with the starter motor, than on a petrol vehicle. The fact that you start with minimal problems when boosted from another vehicle also points to this, the only ...

Well have you first tried looking at them that can sometimes offer a clue ?
Try cleaning the them up to remove all the road muck that gets sprayed up on them ?
Taking the distributor cap off and inspecting inside make sure you keep its exact position noted, the contacts inside and the rotor do have ...

Not really a lot to go on given that it just stopped, my first line would be distributor and HT coil areas. If it was an HT lead or a spark plug only one cylinder would be affected, for all cylinders to go would tend to point to HT generation and distribution, the fact that it had been running would ...

A very rare beast to see a Mazda Bongo Friendee owned by someone in France, as the rules, at least sometime back, caused lots of problems as the sliding door was on the wrong side of the van for your roads!! I wonder how you managed to get past the rules, unless they have ...

Generally the problem for this case is the solenoid/motor is jamming for some reason. You will need to remove the door card and then likely release mechanism from inside the door edge too see what is happening, pictures below show replacing the entire door wiring loom but there are three that relate ...

I think you can reach the rear pump, but does depend on the size of any LB! They are simply "O" ring force fitted into the side;

Yes there are two water pumps on the bottle under the bonnet, the lowest one feeds the front washers the higher one on the "back" of the bottle feeds the rear washer, its possibly jammed if any rubbish gets into the tank or possibly disconnected if any work has been carried out see the diagrams for ...

The very last year or so do have ISO fixing seats!

Also have a word with New Dawn Conversions who may have some left ?

CleopatraParker you haven't said what type of vehicle you have? Have you done much travelling in it? Which countries do you visit?

Seriously ? Have you looked at the road clearance on any of the Bongo's at best its 6" - 7" the 4WD diesel will have the best maybe 7"- 8" depending if its original suspension.

No, down on the South Coast and I employ a garage to work on my V6! You won't get me under the bonnet unless its for electrical or photographs

The bottom hose will be the coolest part of the system! The hot coolant comes out of the engine and then splits into several routes.
One is back to the engine (smallest pipe) via the thermostat top inlet (this gets sealed if the thermostat fully opens up).
Second is via the various heating matrices ...

The problem with a simple flush of the entire system is that any deposits that get washed off the inside of the hoses has a habit of blocking the very small cores in the heating matrix. If you search thru the forum most people recommend disconnecting as many pipes as possible and then flushing and ...

Get back to the garage, either a coolant flow (bleeding problem) or depending on what work was done precisely the control rods that adjust the flaps in the air box in the leg areas either side are not working. Does the temperature gauge show the normal reading 11 Oclock position ?

Right OK, common problems all solvable!

First older radios and even some modern ones have the TWO supplies to them, one is an unswitched supply to retain memories - however because memory types are now available which don't need power (Flash types) newer radios no longer need this supply, so don't ...
