Nothing wrong with the damn switch :roll: After cutting the wire up to the selector knob to fit a different switch that I had, I put the two wires together, and nothing happened. It's actually a section of wire down to the connector block. So I've carefully removed the pins from the block, replaced ...

One thing to think about, is that I would check and double check anything that might arise from being stood for a period of time. I don't know what his turnover is but there's vans that have been in there for months with very little movement (I go past every day, work nearby) so make sure you do al...

Well, I have no idea how it's supposed to be done, but even being very very careful, I've snapped the button off.
I think I'll be either sourcing a new top, or fitting a small switch myself.

Hazza is right, they still are mainly petrol models, pretty much 80% of his stock is 2.5V6's, mainly aftermarket roofs, a few AFTs. His kitchen units look good and just plug into the rear cig lighter. They are clean , new wheels etc, undersealed and very good condition (want to be for that price), b...

That was the thread! Couldn't for the life of me find it. Problem is, mine doesn't seem to come apart! I had it in my head that with the selector knob removed all the buttons should easily come out, but mine don't seem to want to do that. I even had a pair of pliars on it and still nothing, won't bu...

Those just take the knob off. I cannot see a way of extracting the actual switch.

I've spent ages looking through here and also Google, but all I keep finding is people having the "Hold light flashing" issue. The switch on the gearstick doesn't work, but the Hold function does. I have tested this with a piece of wire to jump across on the block under the gear selector. ...

So my Bongo had its first trip to the garage for an investigation/poke around to see what needs doing. I've decided to focus on mechanicals and important bits before going really far into the actual camper side of things (still doing interior things but the noisy bits take precedent). Inner sills in...

Wouldn't have liked doing yours or mine in the weather we've had this weekend.
Might only be a sheet metal shop (there's a lot of big machinery behind me from that pic) but certainly serves well enough for messing on with cars!

I did the "advance plunger" bellhouse and plate seal today, following Dandys thread and using the nice squidgy green O rings. This is the most advanced mechanical thing I've done, apart from a power steering pump on a van a few years ago. It went very well, if not slowly, largely because I...

Well, now I am scared.
Guess I should start reading up on how to check gaskets and such before something gets properly damaged and it all becomes an expensive mistake

Hello all. Had a bit of a fuel issue on Friday (4th Feb); For some reason I decided to give the Bongo a little run and went to work in it. When it was time to come home, I clambered in, turned the key and it made a very stuttered attempt to start (usually it turns over immediately) whilst the revs w...

Ah heh, we're going the other way round. It has a (rubbish) end conversion and I hate it. Looking forward to better weather for that reason also but sadly I have to do the injection pump seals which is an absolute must do and I will not complete any other work until I am satisfied that it's no longe...

No worries! I'm going to be making a set up for mine anyway, just wondered what your situation would be
