HOLD light - 1997 Bongo Friendee V6 2500 Petrol
Hi All,
My first post :0( Not a happy one...
Arrived home with my Bongo yesterday after an uneventful 2 1/2 hour drive. Bought privately from Southampton. The van did'nt miss a beat all the way.
As I type this we are out visiting family - On the way an orange HOLD ligh came on on the dash. It is on constantly - not flashing.
Anyone have experience of this?

Have you caught the hold button on the gear lever ??????????
there is the button you hold in to select the gear then under that there is another button for the hold

That sounds like the ideal way for me to use the Bongo to relive a childhood dream of being in the A Team

All that gold you will need weighs alot so the extra weight will slow the van down even with hold engaged
