Re: Weird electrical issues
A Swap loom is one method but it can also be wired up from behind the fuse box, my first Bongo I did that before I came across the idea of a Swap Loom. Have you checked the two fuses that feed the LB via the Split Charge Relay, some conversions wire it wrongly with the Swap loom fed from the fuse fe...

Re: Wire plugged into radio fuse
Yes the are 4 circuits that might be transferred across; Willingtonkitfusepanel.jpg Normally the old fuses are placed into the additional fuse box under the bonnet that is fed from the LB, if you do have problems in the future, all you need do is move the fuses back inside and remove the wires to pl...

Re: Hand brake adjustment
If your going to be doing a lot of your own maintenance work then its probably best to get the service manuals for your engine from the shop, there are 5 pages dedicated to the handbrake system alone with plenty of pictures and descriptions!

Re: 2.5td engine out
Provided the starter motor can start the engine, and is not physically loose or causing problems then I can't think that they will be testing the starter motor directly at all.

Re: Weird electrical issues
You don't mention if you have a leisure battery at all ? If you do then all the circuits you mention are normally powered from the LB. It could be a problem with the Split Charge Relay that is used to charge the LB from the alternator once the engine is running, but its worth investigating both the ...

Re: V6 Petrol Noise When Warm
Might be worthwhile checking the tension of the two aux. belts as a start before getting any deeper as anything else at the front of the engine means taking a lot of things off! I have heard people suggesting spraying each aux. belt in turn with water to see if anything changes - not something I've ...

Re: Roof rack /bars AFT roof
Yes quite a common add-on but be aware that the AFT roof changes shape over the years, later versions don't have the recessed drainage channels each side but the roof fixing/lifting nuts are in the same location hence the style of support needs to change depending on roof. Also do make sure that nob...

Re: Wire plugged into radio fuse
Welcome aboard! You may find that you have a Leisure battery (LB) installed under the bonnet, in front of the passenger seat, its common to fit what is termed a "Swap Loom" that transfers some of the circuits from the Starter Battery across to the LB so that they are powered when the ignit...

Re: Fuel tank capacity
All the tanks are 65l capacity, however the pump inlet is a few cm's above the bottom so around 60l of useable capacity. Yes the gauges are not that accurate, the low fuel light (provided its not blown ;-) ) does eventually come on, it never has on my V6 but there again when its on Empty on mine it ...

Re: Fuel and temp gauge
Well it might be worth while using a meter to check that you are getting a signal from the sensor in the tank to the back of the meter. As I recall some of the meters have a fine wire from the screw connection to the movement itself which can be snapped if the screws on the rear cause the mounting p...

Re: Fuel and temp gauge
Well if it was working directly beforehand and stopped after you changed, why not change it back if the previous one was working? What was the reason for changing in the first place ?

Re: Fuel and temp gauge
The fuel meter has to be powered to work, the needle will only move whilst power is applied, it is also very heavily damped. You don't say which engine you have there is a common fault on the diesel vans where the return earth on the tank corrodes, the tank itself needs a new earth strap to be added...
