There's a big rubber grommet just in front of the gear selector under the cubby hole. You can cut a hole in that and feed some convoluted trunking or a piece of hose pipe thru which you can feed wires. All the wiring for my 3 coolant alarms, cruise control and LPG is routed this way.

Here's a photo. The metal pieces are behind the plastic panels under the centre cubby hole. You can see the black trunking poking out where it passes thru.

My last Bongo..V6... Had a total of 6 coolant and temp alarms.

1. Standard Low Coolant Alarm
2. High Coolant Alarm
3. TM-2 Tempreture Alarm ( under evaluation for a V6 )
4/5.The CUBE Twin temp alarm ( monitoring each cylinder head )
6. 'I Alert'coolant temp alarm with sensor within the top hose.

Admittedly some of these were so customers could be shown what was available.

Now available is :-
Standard Low Coolant Alarm
Tm-2 temp alarm
Combination of both the above.
TM-4 single and twin sensor temp alarm
TM-1 temp alarm

Go to website below for full details....this is now under the control of my daughter Jo

Yup :). TM2, TM4 & low coolant with high coolant add-on. All monitoring different things. Also got Cube alarm which I'm not using at the moment, but will re-fit at some point. All courtesy of Haydn & Jo.

Blimey...

I knew coolant and the Bongo have had there differences - but TM2 and 4, wow that must light up like an 80's stack system :)
