Re: Parking / Proximity Sensor system

I did have a look around for spare sensors when we first got our Bongo, as I wanted to add a couple to the Thule Box mounted on the tow-bar - no luck :-( Ended up making the rear two sensors extendable on plugs and move them from the Bumper to the Box when we fit it during the summer. I think the on...

Re: Battery drain on fuse 1.

There are quite a few circuits off this fuse as it isn't switched by the Ignition. The leading number refers to the Page in the Wiring Manual which is available here http://www.g8dhe.net/bwm/default.htm or shout for help if wiring isn't your thing ;-) ; X03-8 10 Amp 30 Engine - Control System - WL-T...

Re: Parking / Proximity Sensor system

I think you'll find the Mazda fitted Corner Sensor system is as Haydn describes with two displays one on the Dashboard and the other visible in the Rear mirror, see below; http://www.g8dhe.net/bongo_images/CornerSensorDisplayFront.jpg http://www.g8dhe.net/bongo_images/CornerSensorDisplayRear.jpg and...

Re: DAB Radio / DAB+

As at the end of 2011;
While the BBC's national VHF/FM radio transmitter networks enjoy approximately 98% population coverage, it is likely to be some years bef re their DAB coverage reaches this figure.

Re: LPG Conversion - now CD player not reading - any ideas?

Have you tried a cleaning CD, to give the head a cleanup ? There might have been some dust and air movement which has just caused the problem.

Re: What is it ? is it a coolant alarm ?

The Mason alarm, handles the temperature side of things, it allows the normal Temperature gauge to move in a linear way, rather than the Mazda damped gauge, it also sounds an alarm at a preset point to warn you that the temperature has been exceeded. Haydn's alarm handles the level of coolant in the...

Re: Bleeding bongos

You still get hot water shooting out for a second along with a spray as it shuts off, if you have ever watched one operate in a CH system you will appreciate why its mounted within the low pressure vented cabinet!! Not sure I would want to be close to the the spray of boiling hot water at all!

Re: Mystery of the HOLD light!

Just another thought here there are TWO (well four if you have SRS & ABS as well) separate diagnostic systems involved in the Bongo, I noticed in the original post that you mentioned the TEN and TAT signals now those come from different systems.....
