Re: atf roof beeping

hi,
thank you for the reply.
I have tried pushing it up but that hasn't worked. Would you perhaps have a picture of the location of the rear sensors you mentioned as I cant see any wires etc to that area.
Thanks

atf roof beeping

hi,
Very recently when the roof is fully open, it carries on beeping. I have tried manually pushing it up but it hasn't cured it.
I am hoping someone can tell me where the sensors are that control the beeping.
Many thanks
Kevin

Re: electrical issues

Hi,
I will check for a break in the wiring for the central locking.

Which problem do you suggest I start with ? Perhaps the simplest one ( if there is one) as I'm not very confident about the electrics.

Thanks
Kevin

Re: water pump help please...

ha ha...
yeah...definitely braille....

I had read somewhere to access from underneath, remove the fan, loosen alternator etc. but what a difficult thing to do from a lying down position under the van and I've ruined my 'Sunday go to meeting suit' :-)
Managed to get it off and now need to source a ...

Re: Wynn's coolant system flush

wow...so many replies...thanks all.
I am not aware there has been any oil contamination all seems ok but the coolant is a bit brown and murky. So I was going to do a flush to remedy that.
I suppose my main concern by chemically flushing the system, is the possibility of compromising the operation of ...

Re: Wynn's coolant system flush

Thanks for the replies and advice.
Could someone please offer a second opinion on the directions given on the can;
It says to add coolant flush and run the engine for 10 minutes....
Obviously the bottom hose and stat opening takes considerably longer than this.....
What do you think?

thanks

side rear kitchen unit advice please

hi,
I've had my bongo for several years and I am thinking about installing a rear, nearside kitchen unit that is possibly removable.
The ones on e bay seem a bit expensive. I am a reasonably good diy-er and have the tools etc to make one but could do with detailed pics or even better, a diagram or ...

Re: Electrical help please

Thank you very very much.
You were absolutely spot on, the break was exactly where you said.
I had checked that area earlier but obviously not well enough....
Quite fiddly getting wire through rubber tubing but all done and dusted :D
Thanks again
