Re: Yet another awning question!!

Re: Fitting LCD TV options
Simon is right about the 12v supply. Most 12v tvs it seems are not keen on irregular voltage.

Re: Flashing HOLD light
throttle position sensor , common problem - it's basically giving duff info to the gearbox so box doesn't change when it should as it thinks vehicle is going different speed to actual. Another common one is caused by the speedo chip some have fitted. This is the little chip fitted to rear of speedo ...

I have recently fitted a 60w panel to the roof of van and within hours of connecting the panel the voltmeter had gone from 12.6 starting to 17 volts then came to rest at around 13.7 volts and charge light indicated full. I have taken a look again today [ having ignored it for a few days due to being...

Re: Bongo selling
Generally speaking dealers wont offer you much. They want to make their mark up and need to factor in costs of getting vehicle ready for sale and warranty etc. A private sale is your best bet and advertising on here in for sale pages is well worth a try.
