Reverse lights are not checked as part of an MOT test anyway so even if you done away with both of them it would still pass.

I'm 100% confident the alternator is working properly, like I said I've had voltmeters on both batteries at the same time & the charge rate at the starter battery never drops below 13.8v minimum at any time with the engine running. After seeing how badly it had been fitted I went over every sing...

Just after some info about the Willinton kit operation, my Bongo came with this kit already fitted, very poorly might I add, whoever fitted it left the original fuses in as well as the wiring to re route the interior electrics meaning the starter battery & leisure battery were always connected t...

Any idea how much new or anywhere apart from Mazda that supplies them new ? Had a quick look in the shop but didn't see them.

Probably the same alternative name for an EGR valve...

Timing belt/cam belt
Oxygen sensor/lambda sensor/HEGO sensor
MAF sensor/airflow meter
Crankshaft sensor/TDC sensor/engine speed sensor
Water pump/coolant pump

That's all I can think of off hand just now.

I've blanked off both ends and taken the pipe off completely. makes it so much easier to get at the glowplugs and bits on that side of the engine. http://i861.photobucket.com/albums/ab173/briwy/P1200648small.jpg Its worth cleaning the manifold the manifold while you're at it, usually full of gunge....
