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...

Re: Recomended Bongo Garages South West Wales
You might find that the steering problem is one or both of the U/J's on the steering column, if the grease has hardened!

Re: Rear heater bypass / blanking kit

Re: Transmission problem
Not the same sort of automatic gearbox I'm afraid! These don't have ANY bands to nip up!
