Sincere apologies, and it seems I let slip also that your model is the Bongo Specifica (a rare version, made for the Italian market)

I quite like the sound of a bongo specifica actually...

It'll be that s/s exhaust you fitted to it. Yes, the name was chosen because it sounded a bit like the Toyota Estima, whose market dominance it was intended to challenge

I thought the specifica was the one with the Bertone styling.

Or was it Pininfarina....

Wasn't the pinifarina a snack for the incredible hulk? Or was that a Ferigno panin?

I think you guys are mixing these models up with the Ferrero Rocher, which came out alongside the Ferrari Testosteronarossa and which was similar, but had a sweeter engine noise and was intended to capture the market for sporty females who liked the throaty roar and the feel of a big bit of equipment with lots of ooomph but delivering a sweeter package than what you tended to get out of a Testosteronarossa

Didn't Zack de la Rocha order a testarossa? But it bankrupt him and he turned into a dosser?

Oh, and Bertone is a brand of ice cream Muz - keep up at the back please

That's right. He told me it felt like being kicked in the nuts at the time. Seems there's a sucker born every day (thank goodness)

I thought bertone was a cheap and cheerful brand of am/fm car radio from the 70's? or was that binatone?

I tapped into the same live wire (green/yellow) Going through the rubber membrane where the drive shift thing goes trough under the glory hole following the accelerator cable to where the 2 wires for the scav fan split from the main loom..

Then making a small hole just where it splits at the main loom i ran the wire down inside the loom cover to the bottom where it was easier to tap into the wire just above the connector to the fan & taping the whole thing back up like it never happened...!

Lucky i have an inspection pit, you really need to get the vehicle up off the floor in order to get at it...

I fitted a blue led to flash for the alarm, & some reds in a faulty gutted plasma dial that the gauge company didn't want back during a replacement... (left hand gauge in the glory hole cover.) Now the reds light up when i lock momentarily (about 4 seconds) off the second channel of the mirror fold module then the blue alarmed light flash takes over...
I also have another fake alarm led pulse box in line with the red leds, which is what causes em to flash if the scav fan comes on..!
Top work that man!

I think my scav fan has kicked in maybe 5 times in as many years jamie, yet i still want to do a similar mod myself Up for a bit of a brain picking at the big bash mate?

Well, you did ask....

The big bash...!!? I haven't booked yet.. Or even sorted any time off.

Early days yet.. I normally leave it last minute to sort out.. Hopefully, i'll be there!

I hope your not planning to send me up into yer engine bay...!!

Cuz even with my small frame i found it a little claustrophobic..

Oh no, no my man! I'm just after a real "gob to gob" info mission jamie... I'm so loaded up with family and camping whatnots i doubt i'd have room to flip the seats even if i wanted to!

Just to report.. A few weeks back i went to Suffolk.. After a four hour drive to the in-laws we stopped for a pit stop.. (Actually a cheeky fag.) it was a ruddy hot day & waiting for the glow plug light to go out, then starting the engine the scav light came on (indicating the fan was running) briefly, then as i pulled away it went out.... Haven't seen it light since... Well worth the effort!!
