You could try what I've done ... it works well for us ...

I tried to use a connection to the engine for the negative but it did not work. I stick to connecting the terminals, battery to battery.

Hi Guys,

It was good to meet you on Saturday night - thanks Scanner for organising the get-together & food!

I attach a photo showing the bright blue skies ...



Was it cold??? It wasn't by the BBQ!

Just be aware, Bob, that the current vacuum nipple has a rubber cap on - if you use pliers to remove it, only grab hold of the tip other wise you will not get very far. It makes sense when you do it.

I can't advise on wheel sizes, but I have been using UltraSeal for the last 4 or 5 years - it seals most punctures immediately so that there is little loss of air, if any and one can drive on as normal - you wouldn't notice that there had been a puncture and don't have to change wheels etc. The only...

I was warned today that the cost of batteries is likely to go up regularly as the price of lead increases. I use a local supplier and they have increased their prices 5 times in the last few months in line with the whole sale prices they are charged. If you are thinking of getting a new battery - no...

We have a small removable kitchen unit with cupboards - we can disquise it but not hide altogether. We reserve on line but have to phone and speak to a human when using our Tesco vouchers - they stated that we were the second bongo to book yesterday and that the first one had been regarded as a camp...

We were charged an extra £18 when we booked our rtn. tickets for the Eurotunnel today - because Bongos are now classed as campervans; we have sleeping facilities and a cooker :evil: We used our Tesco vouchers for the crossing and it usually works out to be relatively cheap but will be looking at oth...

Following a similar thread 18 months ago, I found the offending wire & added a simple switch so I can turn the beep option on or off without having to open a door & scaring the neigbours.

I like the idea of remote locking so that is on my list. I will ask Lifesure about the alarm and see if it gives a discount, although as we live in a low crime area (touch wood), it might not make much of a difference to the premiums. I will also ask about remote starting - it would be quite conveni...

Thanks for your reply; I'll have a look at them.

I've also seen alarms recently that come as part of package that includes remote starting - if they do not invalidate my insurance, they appear to be quite useful.

Thanks for the replies. I was begining to fear that something had gone wrong. I normally cylce to work but had to use Mr Bongo recently and it wasn't getting warm until I had arrived at work.

How long should it take for the aircon to pump out hot air? I have mine set to max when driving to the 2 miles to work and it doesn't get particularly hot in that time whereas the cold setting gets cool very quickly.

Can you recommend an approved alarm system with remote central locking? I have been looking at the Waeco Magic Safe MS650 for around £110 - having been impressed with Waeco's cruise control. However, it appears to be twice the price of CAT alarms and I cannot tell if it is approved for insurance, n...
