Re: Instrument cluster bulbs

Again, thanks for this and your rapid reply. Some weird and wonderful wattages listed. I’m committed on the 1.2 W T5 bulbs, as these have been ordered,
Will need to do some research for the T10 bulbs, but at least it has stopped me fitting 5W for panel illumination. Will check out LED equivalents ...

Re: Instrument cluster bulbs

Many thanks for your response, and yes, ok with transferring the green sleeves over, but do Mazda anywhere state the Wattage of these bulbs, and any significance of the black and grey fitments for the smaller T5 bulbs?

There are 2 types,T10 and T5.
Of the T10, there are green and black fittings. The green ones have a green sleeve over the bulb, the black ones have a clear bulb.
What wattage are these bulbs meant to ...

Instrument cluster

Will the dashboard instrument cluster from a 2.5 litre petrol engine function correctly in a 2.0 litre petrol version.
I am aware the redline setting on the tachometer is a different setting, but will the instruments work and give correct readings?
Can’t find any info on searching the database ...

Re: Low fuel warning light, if fitted,where is it

Thanks g8dhe, Just used a torch at an oblique angle and have found the indicator, though I don’t intend to use it in the future.
My “owners manual” is the translation from JPNZ International Ltd, 1995-2000, but does not mention this. I have annotated my copy accordingly.

Low fuel warning light, if fitted,where is it

I’ve had my Bongo 14 years, and a low fuel warning light has never been an issue until now.
Last week had to take my son to hospital and the fuel gauge was near empty, and it was a buttock clenching drive to the hospital in High Wycombe ( 15 miles from where I live)
I got there ok and and when ...

power steering fluid

Is this the same as the ATF fluid used in the gearbox?
Can't find any info on it in the tech sheets on the members pages, or by searching
Is there a recommended changing period ( either based on time or mileage) as with gearbox fluid and brake fluid ?

I've just done the gearbox & have some ATF ...

Re: New stereo draining my battery (I think)

This is exactly the problem I am having, and correspondence with Martin re the Willington kit have confirmed that it is working ok ( I thought battery was back discharging through the system). I fitted an Erisin 2 DIN all singing/dancing radio DVD satnav unit, which works fine and no regrets about ...
