One of the nicer features of this old girl is the original Mazda cruise control with all the control gubbins on the (same as the Bongo) steering wheel. It looks very smart.

Is this of use to anyone with the savvy to retro fit to a Bongo or should it go to the crusher?

Certainly don't stick it in the crusher - YET.

It would be interesting to see the wiring of the wheel mounted controls compared to the Waeco control pad?

Ok chaps. Sorry to hijack the thread. I'll get some piccies sorted & post a new one on this topic.

Lift passengers seat and at the front of the engine is a vertical vacuum pipe with a small T take off. Remove the rubber cover by pulling the very end with a pair of pliers, then push fit the pipe from your sensor.

Pull at the very end of the T of the pipe - I spent too long pulling with my pliers on more of the length of the pipe only to find I was making it difficult - the pipe is slightly bulbed at the end so I was applying pressure that was squeezing the rubber onto the pipe rather when I was trying to pull it off.

Why dont you go the fully fitted, 1 year guarantee , insurance approved for £375 thats what I did. see www.davenewell.co.uk/

I got a friendly local PeoplesCar (shhhh!) campervan specialist engineer, to run a quick safety-focused eye over ours. He gave me an "it's ok" certificate on a standard form he uses for those other campers - from Basil Fawlty's favourite country. No charge, although I do buy other stuff from him, and our insurer happily accepted it. Waeco 50 cost me around £100, and my labour. That's why I wouldn't do that - but you do need to be on friendly terms with somebody qualified who'll either certify it for nowt, or for a lot less than £275 Defo need to ensure insurer is happy.
