Do you have a speedo converter fitted to make the original speedo read in miles?
Mine originally had one of these fitted & was having intermittent speedo dropping out, removed it & just fitted an overlay & the problem never came back

Amazing, thank you for the diagram.
Managed to find the problem. There was no power going to the motors when the up/down switch was used. Using the diagram i was able to power the motors direct off another battery at the connector on the AFT control unit. I was able to make the roof move up & down ...

Does anyone have a Wiring diagram for the AFT? Tried using google chrome but still cant get the old wiring diagram site to work.

The Bongo has been off the road for a few years & is now time to get rid (needs too much welding), tried to pop the roof up for the first time in months in preparation of ...

In my opinion you dont get better more reliable batteries than Yuasa, if i couldn't get a Yuasa i would use Bosch as a second choice.
Avoid Euro Car Parts/CP4L own brand 'Lion' batteries like the plague, They are cheap for a reason.

This is based on 25+ years in the motor trade.

Why would you go to the bother of posting back that the problem is fixed & not share what the actual problem was??

My advice to anyone about the swivel rear seat is if you don't need a forward facing seat for child seats etc just keep the original seat permanently reversed. The seat is good if you need to have if forward facing when moving but the downsides are-
You loose a bit of storage space underneath the ...

The previous owner was kind enough to write a 5 digit key code which I hope is the correct one to get a key cut and not to a radio code! Just need to find someone who can cut a key from a serial number now to see if I’m in luck ….

The key number is a 5 digit code between 10100 - 12283
The key ...

Connect a small filament bulb in place of the fuse, If it lights up the bulb when you turn the ignition on there is a direct short to earth. Cant imagine there is anything wrong with the fusible link, sounds like its doing its job.

Get yourself a contactless thermometer. Great piece of kit for checking for binding brakes. immediately after a run with lots of braking measure the temp of the wheels (or ideally on the brake discs). The front wheels will always be a good bit hotter than the rears but you are looking for a big ...

I went for a Toad Ai606 Cat1 alarm which now does my central locking. Was going to hang onto the fob incase i want to remove the alarm in the future & revert back to standard if i get rid of the van.

I had the same fob on mines till i changed it to an aftermarket alarm but just opened it & it has a CR2025 in it.

A Pre MOT check could be done at any garage, even if they are not an MOT station. I only suggested using an MOT station so that you know it's going to be of the same standard as the actual test. Even if a pre MOT check is done at a testing station it's not an official thing, it's just a service that ...

The problem with a pre Ministery of transport test (mott), if it fails you can still be prosecuted for driving a vehicle in an unroadworthy condition (it will be logged) and you have missed the chance (if it passed) a fresh MOT certificate. Its really up to the owner but I know what I would do ...

PS you could even take the vehicle for a fresh MOTT for peace of mind, good luck.

Good idea but if there is still a fair bit left on the MOT I would put it in for a pre MOT check at a testing station, dont put it in for an actual MOT as if it fails it would make the current MOT invalid.

Do you leave the AFT in the open position when parked up? It must have taken a while to make this?
