I have looked at that kit, but am not confident it would clear an air-lock. Bleeding properly via see-saw is a pain, but is the safest bet in my opinion.

Have thought about buying the kit, installing, bleeding normally and then introducing a small amount of air via the top pressure hose that would ...

Speak to the garage owner/manager, that's definitely not good advice from the mechanic. It's likely air-locked and needs fully bleeding.

If a diesel, I would definitely not drive it. Think the petrols are more forgiving, but it needs bleeding properly for sure.

Drawing a dark current is a common problem on bongos.... usually something on interior circuits, cigar lighters, lights, door loom problems etc. Sounds like you have disconnected negative terminal and checked all those with a multimeter?

For some info. on fuses and circuits, try this link....

Try leaving it off for 24 hours - sounds like it may need defrosting (ie maybe ice blocking coils behind or the internal fridge vents). Also try pouring hot water down the internal fridge vent, if that fridge has one.

Search the fact sheets in the members area... this one gives the fuse box information.

Are you trying on 240v mains hook-up, or leisure battery... or both? Be SUPER careful around the distribution board if on hook-up. Treat it like the consumer unit in your house. The comments below are general....

There is a main fuse ~40A or a cut-off RCD + smaller rated MCB's in the distribution ...

My MoT was similar - just a split CV boot to replace, so a bit of jacking and swinging on a breaker bar/getting hands dirty. Crawling around underneath is tiresome, but self-service everything apart from the timing belts , coolant system and gearbox etc, ie where a ramp and specialist garage + money ...

No idea about that specific problem on a bongo, but its just a car headliner material. Contact adhesive is the usual way to install those items - you can get some spray-on stuff. Obviously, you'll have to remove some trim/edging around doors and sun-visors etc to get access behind it.

You really want to travel and see a bongo where the owner does not know if 2 or 4-wheel drive and looks like that underneath??

Think it would be super-unusual for the dash bulb to blow. Have you checked fuses and relays for the glow plug system?

In this summer weather, the beast will start without glowplugs for sure.

If you suspect the dash bulb, you could try running the diagnostics by pinning the ECU (carefully of ...

Think you might have to be more specific.

If you were sat in traffic, could possibly be the scavenger fan kicking in as normal under the centre console/dash - that might potentially blow smells from leaking oil or coolant in the engine bay into the fresh air intake or, if seats are not down and ...

First step is to diagnose the problem. The members area gives details of how to connect into the ECU to trigger the diagnostic code sequence of the flashing glowplug dash warning light. It's easy, but be careful as the ECU is very expensive. The problem is unlikely to be the glow plugs themselves ...

Think you maybe out of luck.... Mazda 929, Mazda Sentia and Kia Enterprise with J5-DE engine had limited production runs in Japan and Korea only. Trawling the micro fiches at a Mazda dealer might be possible, but can't see that cam belt being common to anything else. The tariff war has settled, so ...

Hi, used to have a Ford Ranger, which also had an annoying ABS warning / code 43. After much messing around, replacing sensors with main dealer I sorted it myself.... It was actually error codes (4) and then code (3), which from a ford forum post found those meant ABS sensor/connector error and then ...

You can bleed it alone, by thinking it through + and making a hook to hold the funnel high and low. Bit of dashing about between header and bottom hose - always be aware of scolding hot water.

Obviously easier with three pairs of hands or a helper.

Never tried Rusty's bleed kit, but would not ...
