Re: Another dash cam

I've got a "MiWitness" http://www.store.mi-witness.co.uk/mi-witness-range.html Now when you've all picked yourselves of the floor after looking at the price! When it is hard wired to the battery it goes into sleep mode when the ignition is off and wakes up if someone or something enters th...

Re: low buzzing noise

This might be a long shot, but do you have an analog clock fitted in the dash? possible more noticeable at night when everything is quiet.

Re: Why won't the key turn in the ignition?

steering lock ?, try turning your steering wheel both ways whilst gently trying to turn ignition switch, its quite stiff with engine off.

Are they new keys?, may need a light rub over with emery to take the edge of them.

Sorry cant be of more help.

Re: Dodgy steering

over inflated front tyres ? Knackered front shock absorbers ? broken rear springs ? Steering rack or worn steering universal joint ? Just a long shot, is the tracking set up as per forum factsheet or has the garage picked the nearest size vehicle from the tracking specs sheet ? all only suggestions

Re: Basic questions from a bongo newbie (and defo non-techie

Should be able to tell if the Leisure battery is charging by using a multimeter (engine not running should be about 11 -12v someone may be able to tell you more accurately) engine revving should be around 13 -14v i think. Fuel gauge is usually a poor earth link, you should be able to find a cover un...
