Re: Bongo spares - genuine reviews please

They have been around a long time and built a very good reputation, I popped in there in the very early days to pickup up a new AFT tent when they were in the original yard. They have sorted me out at short notice for repairs whilst passing thru one year when I had a serious boil-up around London ...

Re: Front heater

First make sure the speed control for the fan is working in all positions if so then quite often a blocked cooling radiator for the aircon can be the cause of this, remove the entire blower assembly and where the blown air enters the internal system there is a radiator for cooling down the incoming ...

Re: Front heater

The transistor is used to control the speed in place of the resistors in the older versions, however there is always a small voltage drop across the transistor so they have a relay - G3-05 - to by-pass it when full speed is selected. On off control is carried out by the other relay G3-07.

Re: Front heater

Yup or could be transistor blown (no resistors on electronic version) check if it runs at full speed when the by-pass relay operates, need to check both ends of the motor etc.

Re: Front heater

You need to give us some info! What type of controls - older manual or more recent electronic controls?
What is the actual problem, is the air blowing thru, is it not heating, cooling or are the directions wrong ?
Are any of the vents, windscreen, face, sides or feet functioning?

No the door looms ...

Re: Storing Meals for a Bongo Trip

I have a mixture of items, plus usual size of small fridge. I keep tins of meat, vegetables and VeeTee rice and sauces under the R&R bench seat none of which need cooling on a long term basis so always available, also a couple of long life milk cartoons. Then put fresher and/or frozen items into the ...

Re: Fuel tank capacity

The gauges are not accurate, the tank has a measured (clean) capacity of 65litres, the low fuel light (early versions of the van don't have a low level light) comes on at a level lower than I have ever taken it!

Re: Fog lights

Re: Hold Light Flashing

Read the error code from the diagnostics, that's what the flashing hold light means. The code will suggest likely faults. The error codes have varied over the years but a 1996 will probably be covered by http://www.philmcfadden.co.uk/MazdaDiagnosticBox.htm
