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 ...

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


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 ...
