Re: Temperature gauge problem

I had the same problem on mine wwhen I bought it, the temp gauge never rose at all while driving, but if stood idling for 10 to 15 mins it would rise, then drop again as soon as you started driving.

My problem was no thermostat.

New thermostat fitted and all working OK now

Re: Lucky I checked

Last time the garage bled mine after a heater matrix replacement I was given 2 litres of coolant 50/50 mix to take away with me and told to check the level the next day as it may require topping up slightly once it had cooled down, got about half a litre in it the morning after

Re: Replacing rear heater matrix.....

Changing my rear matrix was extremely easy, just took the new matrix and £75 to Aidrian at Bury and voila a few hours later it was all done, new matrix, a couple of new hoses and new coolant, didnt even need to clean my hands afterwards :lol:

Re: Flip down TV

To be honest we dont normally watch TV when bongo'ing its just for the odd occasion when its chucking down and you cant sit out we can sit in and watch a bit.

Enjoy your Easter Trip

Re: Flip down TV

Must admit I got nothing on the telescopic aerial at all. I was thinking of fitting a 12 Volt cig socket by the rear heater controls so I can plug the TV in and out and remove the TV altogether when not in use, shoudlnt be too much of a problem to find a 12 volt supply around that point, hopefully I...

Re: Flip down TV

Hi Hollis

Its either going to be mounted on the side pillar opposite the side door or on the roof between the two front seats, still not decided yet :?:

Must admit the little mag mount TV aerial does a great job of picking up all the freeview channels too
