Yea I have a leak somewhere - ended up stuck on the M25 last week with steam coming out the cap/hose and the temp having shot up to H. Tank was empty. AA man did pressure tests - no problem, we could find no sign of leaks. He tested cap - vented at 1.1bar. So I drove home and the expansion tank was ...

Sounds like a good idea Pippin, i don't think people realise there dealing with a bomb if handled incorrectly. I think a good dose of safety first is the order of the day on this one. Rich :roll: Sshhh don't give them terrists ideas! Next thing we know it they'll try and use a car with petrol, gas ...

I went to my local lockie and he cut 8 keys before he gave up. Some worked in the ignition with a lot of wriggling but no door locks, or vice verca. Most just didn't work. Maybe he was clueless - but... oh I'm not a key expert.

I'll try somewhere else.

I would love to just this sub-club too. I have an old Lynn C-Quad which I intended to use to k-surf but it's old now, and I never got round to getting it wet. So what I want to know is... anyone in the south east want to introduce me to kite surfing - ie show me the ropes (and tempt me to spend too ...

PS - very glad your alarm has -ve door trigger... without it... PITA for sure.

Weird - sure the alarm doesn't a -ve trigger as well? Paul......Go on....give me a kick !!! When I looked at the wiring diagram again, I see that it has 2 door input triggers, 1 -ve and 1 +ve..........doooh :oops: All I need now is the electric windows info and I'll be set. Dave. The best place to ...

Windows I used a window closure module from falcon alarms - mentioned elsewhere on the site. BUT ASK FOR THE HIGH POWER EDITION and mention "Paul Hedderly" - It is a fab little module when you get the right one... The drivers door window motor is Green and Red/Blue - need to take Green to ...

Weird - sure the alarm doesn't a -ve trigger as well? What alarm is it?

Could use a relay (that would suck though - suck juice literally :O)

No probs. Got a load of other wiring notes I want to write up - like for the rear blinds, door mirrors etc. I wired up my alarm to close the front windows, pull in the mirrors and lower the rear blinds when I lock. It's quite fun to see the Bongo shut itsel' up nicely :O)

The relay for the door locks is behind the glovebox. So remove the glovebox - three connectors there right in front of you (green white blue) ignore them. The relay you want is behind them, the connector is on the bottom - it is an 8-way with six wires Now... colours I think you want the red and red...

I have worked this all out and writen some of it up - will try and find it for you.

You got the wiring of the switch wrong... you clearly had a a short ciruit past the bulb...

Are you measuring that 11.8v under load or quiescent though - that was my question. You are so right that you can (should) only use 50-60% of a cranking lead acid's "capacity" though other types are much more forgiving... My Hawker cyclons have been very very abused over 11 years... often ...

Sykeside (Brotherswater) is awesome - we were there over New Year. (Two other bongos there too) It's Not very big - might get 30 Bongos in I guess - would be really nice if we could mind... And not particularly cheap though the location is fantastic, the food is excellent in the pub, facilities very...

It all depends on the load and the battery condition...
