Re: Leisure battery set up
Right NO that isn't right BUT not unexpected ..... originally the Split Charge Relays ONLY operated when the voltage on the SB was higher than the operating level i.e. engine running, however the designs changed as more people used them in our sort of role, also it was cheaper to make, hence the ...

I would suggest you check thoroughly for any additional connections to the SB +ve before adding additional relays, however there have been some ...

Re: Leisure battery set up
The units towards the rear are the Electrical Hook Up (EHU) switching and a 12v supply which will charge the LB when your on EHU as well as run the 12v systems in the van.
I can't see a Split Charge Relay under the bonnet, but it may be hidden, this will allow the alternator to charge the LB when ...

Leisure battery set up
Hello all
I am new to the bongo world and I'm trying to figure out how my leisure battery is set up? Has anyone seen this before and can explain how it works. It looks like the leisure battery runs strait to the rear fuse board.

Re: air bleed no bleed hose
Hi I'll have a look and let you know, been a while since I had to open that side of the engine to be honest so may be a day or two.
No problem! Any help would be greatly appreciated!! At least the fact that you haven't had to open that's side of the engine for a while means that it is a good ...

Re: air bleed no bleed hose
welcome to the Fury! I guess first off we need to know why you haven't got a bleed hose. when I got my Bongo just a few weeks ago it too didn't have a bleed hose and I've since found out (via this forum) that mine has a Ford Ranger head which does not have the additional three way connector just ...
