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

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 refue...

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 f...

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 p...

Re: kerb weight

I posted in December that I had been refused an MOT test as the vehicle weight was not on the VIN plate, which caused me a lot of hassle. The MOT station would not accept the "generic weight" quoted in the handbook. Eventually got it MOT'd and the weight was stated as 1995 kg. This is for ...

Re: Servicing a 2.0 litre petrol Bongo, query on gearbox

Geoff, thanks for your reply and photo. I've had another grope under the drivers seat and now found the dipstick. I've been converted to LPG, and the injectors are mounted directly over the dipstick obscuring it. The pointer in the photo of the V6 was the shape of the "handle" at the end o...
