Should say those temperatures are quite low, but if your a 2l petrol understandable, however a diesel can get a LOT hotter quite safely! Bear in mind the whole point of the sealed pressurised system is to raise the boiling point above the normal 100°C which allows more heat to be moved away so its q...

Most often its been bolted to the air scoop or a bit of plastic around the radiators, can be a small 1" cube or a larger VSR 4" cube, follow the two hefty cables back to each battery and there should be a fuse in each close to the battery. The one that feeds the LB sometimes will have a co...

Sounds about right.

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...

There still in copyright so no nothing online.
Clutch ? Do you have a diesel with manual gearbox then ? Otherwise there all Automatics.
The splitter

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...

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!

Maybe you need to refer to the mech. diagrams available here https://www.lushprojects.com/bongopartsmk2/ follow the menu's down to locate the relevant diagram, it will at least show you what is what. For more detail then its best to obtain from the Shop service manual(s) for which ever engine you ha...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Yes be nice to see you at Stourport Mike and you to Muz

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...

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...

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 ...
