Re: Quick starter motor connection question. 2.5 TD

hi, Not got a north Japanese model but i believe they have twin starter batteries, is it possible that one of the heavy duty leads comes from the second battery?? If it is the case i would disconnect the winter battery lead and just use the main battery one. I may be way off mark here, so hopefully ...

Re: newbie

Hi,

I think you will need to be a bit more specific or even better try to get a picture posted of the item or area you mean.

Whatever you do consider not driving the Bongo, until its sorted, last thing you want is a possible cheap fix turning out expensive with an air lock in the system.

Re: Belts Alternator & aircon

I might be wrong here so correct me anyone. I think the belt sizes are: Aircon belt size; 1000 x 13mm, Alternator/ waterpump - 1090 x 13mm. The toothed belts do not require as much tension to grip the pulleys than the standard v belts, and so dont put as much strain on the bearings. Dont know whethe...

Re: Roof issue

we all need a little help raising it sometimes, most of us leave the tent zips undone to reduce the tension as the canvas/vinyl reaches full stretch.

Re: IS IT JUST ME!

might be wrong but have you checked the engine bay fuse-box 4th one down 15A, just looked on the wiring diagrams and front and rear lights look like they feed of that fuse.
I also noticed the fuse marked tail on Simon's post, might be worth trying that first.

Re: Connecting Haydn low coolant sensor

ok i see. well could be one thing less to worry about then. still keep regular checks on water level and not wait till it goes off. better to fix a small leak before you get a bigger one

Re: Connecting Haydn low coolant sensor

if you've got a Willinton kit fitted, the live connection from the liesure battery will go to the negative side of the fuse terminal of the fuse you have removed to fit Willinton kit to fuse box. So you will have the positive side of the removed fuse terminal still on switched live from the ignition...
