Re: Fault codes 10, 11, 12, 14 and 18(!?) - help needed, please!

The sequence is different between the codes, refer to the diagrams in the Members area (Fact Sheets) for the various patterns depending on year of the vehicle.
I have to say with vehicles of this age, the faulty circuit doesn't normally jump up and say its "ME", the other circuits around the engine ...

Re: illumination on the digital heater control

You move the bases over they are not part of the lamp themselves, I've always got mine in the past from CPC but haven't looked for a while for them now. Try wire ended bulbs 12v;

Re: illumination on the digital heater control

There are a couple of different styles, if its the electronic style then see here https://lushprojects.com/bongopartsmk2/ ... 2of02.html
Otherwise go back up a level and choose the other diagram!

Re: Sliding Door Motor Not Working

Yes that often seems to be the case, the mechanism gets out of sequence and instant problems. In my case a hard slam forced closure has usually reset the mechanism, the one time it didn't (only happened 2-3 times) a poke around inside with a screwdriver seemed to reset it.

Re: Invest in repair or fresh import

Worth having a search relating to Imports and the SVA testing needed maybe also for importers as there are some catches when doing it yourself you may need to be aware of! https://igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/search.php?keywords=importing+SVA&terms=all&author=&sc=1&sf=firstpost&sr=posts&sk=t&sd=d&st ...

Re: Invest in repair or fresh import

Have you seen any new imports listed for sale? The numbers have reduced a lot in the last few years, as they are getting quite rare I believe even in Japan! Also be certain that they are "new" imports and not one imported and already run for several years over here, in which case you may find that ...

Re: Sliding Door Motor Not Working

Its always possible, but with out using a meter to check the state of the contacts and any resistance its not possible to give you a positive yes/no, but its a possibility. Are you certain that the Leisure battery is in a good condition and supplying greater than 12v when static, have you tried ...

Re: Sliding Door Motor Not Working

You mention you were on a trip and slow working, maybe your leisure battery is/was flat? This has the same effect leaving the door only partially closed and slow to operate. Otherwise clean the contacts on the leading edge of the door and the frame, but be aware that at least one pin will be live so ...
