did you get good voltage when you tested it. could you not test at the plug/supply. heres some good pics from an old ebay listing, it looks easy from the pics and it isnt that bad really. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/mazda-bongo-2-5-Td-1995-fuel-pump-diesel-pump/191720317516?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m...

Started up straight away, no lumpiness or rough running. Don't think it's its the battery, it's not new but it terns engin over well

Well just charged battery again. Couldn't get diesel cut off valve out only managed to get plastic cap off and test voltage. Thought I would clean banjo filter instead but that looked OK . Cleaned it anyhow. Sprayed electrics in area with gt40 and it now starts. Was it the banjo filter? Or I am star...

its a magnetic switch so earth the body of it and put a 12 volts feed to the top connector, the plunger will fly in or out (cannot remember which way it works) mind the spring and bits dont fly away. :shock: . strip it in bits and clean it it may be just muck thats stopping it working right. or the...

think i would go with simon on this, check the voltage at the fuel shut off valve on the top of the pump, then unscrew it and test it, and check the sealing washer is still on the end as they do perish, (bit like a tap washer at home). this is the part below, apparently it is the same as a transit ...

Thanks Ian just trying all obvious things first.

It could the the diesel stop valve on the injector pump although they more commonly seem to fail in the open position so the engine won't switch off. Plenty of fuel in the tank, not got a dodgy fuel gauge earth? Fuel ok filled up a couple of days ago. Was thinking it could be a blockage but it was ...

Ok just charged battery reconnected and it started straight away, not lumpy running or anything running smooth as normal. Turned off then it would not start again even though engine was turning over quickly. Battery flat again now so will try again. Glow plugs getting power although only showing 10....

Jumped in bongo this morning and won't start. Turns over but doesn't fire. No sign of problems before started fine every day until now. It's diesel 2.5.
What should I check first?

We have one of the enduraline battery's from Tanya . Been on for a couple of years now and still good. We do have a solar panel on dash of bongo which works very well for topping up and keeping fridge going. Before the enduraline we had an elecsol battery which I think was a lot better battery would...

Not sure why you want to leave empty. Be aware plastic pipes in and out of matrix if they are original do get very brittle with age. We have replaced both front and rear heater matrix alter both failing. Luckily front whist stationary at a petrol station a few hundred meters from our local garage an...

Been here a few times, open all year I think.

We have waeco cf35 and can highly recommend, runs off leisure battery had it for about 7yr now. Runs for about two to thee days on leisure battery when not moving and charging although we now have a large solar panel on dashboard and it will run for 5 days plus in summer.

We have been using millers for the past year and I think it does make a difference. Engine does feel to run smoother and quieter. Not sure on economy have not checked that recently. We are 4wd diesel and always averaged around 24 mpg.

We lost Sophie on Friday night both gutted not sure what to do. How can we love dogs so much! Bongo days were brilliant with our little dog, she loved to sleep in bongo right up to the end.
