Re: Welsh Bongo Bash 2012

Thank you Ian... that campsite looks excellent and great reviews. Huge pitches, metered EHU and the over 50's special offers are great value too.

Re: Help with wiring alarm

Thanks for the good advice guys, I will indeed visit a couple of local alarm specialists and see what they have to offer for my budget. I've given up on the other alarm after diving in and out of the van in between the rain all day. Connecting to red wire behind dash still didn't work so I wash my h...

Re: Help with wiring alarm

Thanks for that info' Geoff, I will see if I can connect into that wire tommorow. If that doesn't work I'll call it a day as it was only a temporary deterrent, and wait until I can get a better alarm. Thanks for all the help guys. I know you get what you pay for, but can you recommend a half-decent ...

Re: Help with wiring alarm

Wired direct to LB and still no joy... shock sensor works on maximum sensitivity, but looks like it would need an express train hitting the van to sound the alarm. Seems I have 20 quids worth of flashing LED on dashboard and nothing else :lol:

Re: Help with wiring alarm

Thanks both. The bracket gives the earth connection and now the only black wire is the twin core to the led. Reading the questions on the Maplin site, the older units did have a black wire for the earth, but this seems to have been superceded in preference to earthing via the bracket. I assumed (pro...

Re: Help with wiring alarm

All the interior lights are set to come on when any of the doors are opened so I assume that once the circuit is made, that is what sounds the alarm, rather than sensing a battery voltage drop. It's not a sophisticated alarm, just a cheap and cheerful one until I can afford an all-in-one that immobi...

Help with wiring alarm

I have fitted an alarm that will trigger when any of the doors are opened, once armed. The one wire needs to connect into the interior lights circuit so when any of them come on the alarm sounds, so I connected this wire into Fuse No1 via the white wire of the Willington kit, that is inserted into F...

Re: Another fuel cut off Solenoid has gone

If I remember correctly, the starter solenoid is usually part of the circuitry for the fuel solenoid. If the starter solenoid contacts keep sticking all the time, this can cause the fuel solenoid to burn out, so you may have one problem causing another. Two solenoids in 3 months could point to the s...

Re: Anyone else from Cwmbran?

Hi georgey - just a stone's throw away from me. :D

Saw another Bongo in What's carpark 2 days ago... dark green AFT M74* *TX. Not sure if they are members here or not - couldn't stop as wifey was in a rush to get somewhere. :wink:

Re: Anyone else from Cwmbran?

Caught a fleeting glance of a dark maroon one turning off Henllys Way onto Cwmbran Drive this morning. Seems there is at least one in the local area - that's the first I've seen.... there must be more surely :wink:
