Re: Leisure battery charging from hookup question

Cheers guys.

The charger is an intelligent one and will cut down when fully charged so not a worry. Link here:

I should have mentioned the 8awg does have a fuse located right next to the LB (20 amps at the moment which should ...

Leisure battery charging from hookup question

Hi guys,

I have a question about charging the Leisure Battery on hookup. I already have a Willinton kit installed for the split charge when the engine is running.

Anyway, I am in the middle of converting my Bongo and have just purchased a Numax 10amp charger and figuring the best way to install it ...

Re: 32 degrees roasting 31.5 warm

I haven't experimented as much as you guys but my Bongo exhibits the same behaviour as the OP.

There is a huge difference between 31.5 and 32 degress setting. 31.5 degress is warm and 32 is roasting. I just end up using it in manual mode and crank it up to 32 initially for a while then back it off ...

Re: Eberspacher fitting problems...fuel supply

I had a similar problem when I fitted mine & ended up using a bicycle pump to suck fuel thru the pipework to the pump just to prime it & get the air out. Much better than a mouthful of diesel :oops:

I just made a small loom with a push switch in it then connected the fuel pump directly to this ...

Re: Eberspacher fitting problems...fuel supply

Thanks for the info above guys and an update.

I couldn't get it out of my head that the T-piece facing up wasn't the problem so dashed home from work, loosened the pipes and turned it round so it was pointing down. Loosely hung the fuel pump in its new position. A quick bleed and you could see it ...

Re: TM-2 Tabulated readings

OK here are my readings.

I have the TM-2 mounted on the back of the cyclinder head (lowest bolt hole) as per the latest instructions.

Most of the time it reads about 85 - 86.
If I am pushing it a bit upto about 90-92.

The highest I have seen is 95 when stuck in a traffic jam. Having only recently ...

Re: Motorhome Show, Wellington, Somerset Feb 5-7th

Get any bargains?

We picked up a couple of things. A little oil heater, a kiddy fold up canvas chair and rechargeable LED torch thingy but the main things was an awning (Movelite XL). Although the same price as everywhere else it was the 2010 model where some places are still selling 2009 models ...

Re: Motorhome Show, Wellington, Somerset Feb 5-7th

I'll probably have a look in sometime over the weekend, but seeing as I'm only 5 minutes from Chelston, I don't think I'll bother going all the way over to Taunton Racecourse to camp overnight :lol:

Anyhow, if you spot a T reg silver over grey AFT at Chelston, do come and say hello :)

I think I ...

Re: radio powered by leisure battery - which wires to switch?

Hi,

My head unit was exactly the same.....I couldn't fully turn it off when wired to the leisure battery.

I took a similar approach but used a switch in conjunction with a relay. This means that a couple of things come on when the radio is off and vice versa. Use the red wire for the radio and ...

Re: REMOTE LOCKING

As mentioned earlier the hardest part is connecting the linkage.

and the most painful bit, I have cuts galore now, big hands little working space :lol: :lol:

I fitted mine the day after it came back from waxoiling so everytime one of the rods (I was joining two together) fell into the bottom of ...

Re: REMOTE LOCKING

Fitted mine a couple of months ago and wired the control up to the window switch and existing positive feed. Left the control box in the door and no problems so far.

I bought my kit purely on the basis that I like the remote the best. From Ebay and cost a grand total of abuot £25 or so. I have a ...

Re: Recommending a group 1,2 & 3 car seat for bongos

I like the look of that. We've got Maxi Cosi (one priorifix and one prior XP) which we like but they are a pretty standard seat. Cracking idea the way yours is set up. Shame we bought the second seat only a couple of weeks ago to save swapping it between cars as I would have looked at this.
