Checked all the terminals, waxoyl free, only 11.8v output from alternator :( Went down to Weymouths alternator/starter motor refurb meister, Chris Putt who confirmed it was goosed, but a sheer coincidence that it had gone after waxoyling. Luckily he's got a refurb in stock for £147, will pop down to...

Surely this can't be a coincidence, waxoyled bongo's bottom today, then when I drove up to my mates for dinner ( too pooped to cook), charge & sediment lights stayed on :shock: Just done a search on the forum & checked the fact sheet - everything points toward alternator :( Measured across b...

Done a search, nothing came up ( yes I used AND), wondered if anyone has removed their front bumper, if so how difficult. I've noticed some surface rust starting on the metalwork around the radiators & behind the grilles & want to get in & sort it out while I'm messing about with rust co...

Was some discussion a week or two about the very things, quite a few of us have got em now it seems, excellent car park bumper protectors too. Haven't got as far as cargo box yet but I was thinking along the same lines. haven't managed to bash my shins yet either

Got to replace the adjustable air vent thing in themiddle of the dash - right hand one of the 2. the old one came out with a bit of persuasion from the front ( had already been bent & squeezed, hence replacement), but now I've got the new one & looking at the hole it's gotta go in, it looks ...

Thought BDC was fitting it for ya ?:roll: I found all the piccies I needed on here, but I'm stuffed if I can remember where. the screw in plug goes in at the back end of thr turbo under the passenger seat, you may be able to get ashifting spanner or big stilsons on the 36mm coupling nut thing, there...

Noooo! just a paintbrush an a hoover to clear all the debris, flush will be in a month or 2 (unless circumstances force it before) when I change & refill coolant just to make sure antifreeze right for winter, seesaw method print out on standby thanks to peglegpete. Checked intercooler matrix &am...

It works ! :D it was having an identity crisis - thought it was a water pump :( , Must have been from before I bought it, the drain had a minor blockage when I first looked at it which I cleared by poking it with my key. Anyway, I had tested it across the battery - nothing, so took the fan out &...

Drainage gulley clear, no signs of water ingress around the resistor pack - unfortunately being the climate control version (not so smug now :roll: ), no simple resoldering of resistors. no apparent damage/burn out to transistor. will check fan across 12v in the morning, but seems to spin ok. Found ...

B****r, worked ok when I switched it on, then realized I was gettin warm, turned it up, nothing happpening. checked fuse, fan spins ok, have downloaded fact sheet & will check resistor tomorrow They do test you, these bongos but I still love it

Spec lift has an arrangement that looks like a pair of specs that sit/strap under front wheels to lift/tow, you know you've seen em wobblin around on the back of recovery trucks

Having had a fruitless search for a replacement drivers window switch that doesn't cost the earth, I decided to attempt a repair on mine. As I mentioned before, I got the passenger side on /off switch working by giving the contacts a good scrape, but the rocker switch for the drivers side had come o...

Mines the digital climate control, must be different

My rear fan works independantly of the front fan if dashboard switch is on of course

Ihave just obtained a "Quorum MV-42 electronic rust guard", it consists of 2 anode modules stuck to the inside of the engine bay that draw 42mv & create free electrons which apparantly "form an invisible layer of protection that electronically retards the rusting process". I ...
