I like the funky coloured switches on your dash, what are they for ? I have put my digital temp guage where you have those switches, I'll post some pics up tomorrow

There is a large auto elecricians just round the corner from me Jeff's Auto Electrics that does alternator repairs, I will pop round this week and ask there as well.

Will do, at the moment my temp gauge doesnt register while driving but goes up to just under half when stopped

But will def put some reading up tomorrow once its in place

I was going to go for one of the Ebay 2 Din screens but didnt liek the idea of it being on show all the time, at least the Ripspeed looks a little naff when its closed

Just had my Bongo serviced with Adrian at Japan Direct in Bury on saturday morning, great guy, he did a full oil and filters change, replaced my Split Charge relay and LB as it wasnt working, cleaned and checked the brakes and topped up all the fluids all for a very resonable price :-) He also gave ...

I ordered a Ripspeed DV720 form Halfords last week, it was a refurb unit with 12 month warranty for £59 ! it arrived last night and was in Mint condition and was fitted to my Bongo in about 10 mins, dead easy just three connections, the main plug, Aerial and the hand brake wire to earth. Must say fo...

Cheers Guys, I shall try and route it to there tonight then and post some pics up once done

I too have one of these digital gauges, bought a few weeks ago and fitted it last week into the dash and routed the probe to under the bonnet ready for attaching to the cooling system, I was just going to jubilee clip it to one of the metal cooling pipes under the bonnet, which would be the best one...

Anyone of to Silverstone this weekend for the Superbikes, if so say hi !

oops ! I was just testing

Yep, got the full lowdown on it before giving any cash over, but def agree with giving it a good service and sort out the stat with a bongo specialist, all being done in 2 weeks time I am quite handy at most day to day car repairs but the coolant system on a bongo is very different from anything els...

Well here goes the reason from the guy I bought it from!! The guy i bought it off had loads of problems with it overheating 12 months ago, he had the garage change the rad, some hoses and it still overheated, they then removed the thermostsat and it ran cool, all fixed he thought #-o He then sold it...

Nope, no switch there, I think the simplest thing is to start again with the LB then I know whats what. I poped over to Wheelquick on saturday so they could check the leaky hose (i had simply pushed it further onto the pipe and moved the clamp) he said that it was fine like that and to poss change i...

No idea if its ever worked, only got the Bongo a couple of weeks ago and I am slowly going through it checking stuff. The LB is charging fine but just doesnt appear to power anything in the van, upon closer inspection it appears to be just linked in tandem with the standard battery ? I think I may j...

OK, I have a leisure battery and split charge circuit on my bongo but dont know what it powers?

I disconnected the main battery tonight to see what works, and nothing works, no lights, radio, roof or 12 volt sockets so what is my LB supposed to do ?
