Diesel Bongo won't start

Post by giles2050 » Tue Jul 10, 2018 9:28 am

Hi All,

Bongo refused to start yesterday, it was in park with handbrake on, on turning the key there was nothing engine didn't turn, no dash lights, but electric windows still work, as does wipers, folding mirrors. Battery isn't that old just over a year. Just thought I'd give the forum a try before calling AA to check things over. Thanks in advance.

Check the cable that runs between the auto gear shift and the ignition barrel. It may have become dislodged or frayed.

Do you have an Immobiliser fitted, it may have timed out ?
