Re: Changing from motor caravan back to MPV

I seem to recall that they may only allow you to change to Van with Windows, which seems to be the current designation ? I think the only way you can find out would be to call them and confirm!

Re: Bongo Making Loud Noise - Electric

Sounds like a relay or magnetically controlled device which is having problems. You need to investigate under the bonnet, the dashboard etc to find out what device is causing the problem.

Re: Fuse box

Yes there are tabs and a lot of the fuses on the power side are all interconnected. What are you trying to achieve ?

Its normal to put an extra loom in to connect to the LB if that is what you are trying to achieve, much easier than trying to split the feeds and power them separately Willington kit ...

Re: Bongo spares - genuine reviews please

They have been around a long time and built a very good reputation, I popped in there in the very early days to pickup up a new AFT tent when they were in the original yard. They have sorted me out at short notice for repairs whilst passing thru one year when I had a serious boil-up around London ...

Re: Front heater

First make sure the speed control for the fan is working in all positions if so then quite often a blocked cooling radiator for the aircon can be the cause of this, remove the entire blower assembly and where the blown air enters the internal system there is a radiator for cooling down the incoming ...

Re: Front heater

The transistor is used to control the speed in place of the resistors in the older versions, however there is always a small voltage drop across the transistor so they have a relay - G3-05 - to by-pass it when full speed is selected. On off control is carried out by the other relay G3-07.

Re: Front heater

Yup or could be transistor blown (no resistors on electronic version) check if it runs at full speed when the by-pass relay operates, need to check both ends of the motor etc.

Re: Front heater

You need to give us some info! What type of controls - older manual or more recent electronic controls?
What is the actual problem, is the air blowing thru, is it not heating, cooling or are the directions wrong ?
Are any of the vents, windscreen, face, sides or feet functioning?

No the door looms ...
