Electrics, Audio and Security / Inhibitor/Neutral Safety Switch

« on: January 25, 2016, 07:04:16 AM »

Wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction.

I'm trying to get my neutral safety switch working on my CF2 (202 with trimatic) as it starts in all gears but finding information online is proving tricky.
There are 3 posts on top of switch (only 2 are connected and it does matter where or engine won't crank), 2 posts at bottom with black cables running off then 2 more wires coming up with what seems to be a blown bulb attached.

I've had a look under the truck and all wires seem to go to transmission which wasn't what I was expecting. Also, everything I read says that they should be purple wires which makes me think that maybe someone has intentionally bypassed.

The top two cables (white from red/white) get power when being cranked but can't see anything off starter/ignition running there.
The bulb always has power which makes me think that there was a light around shifter as my park lights are always on too.
That would make me think that the black wires are reverse lights.

I am a complete amateur just trying to work my way through these things hopefully without paying a pro :-)

Thanks Wendy! Will through up some more pics when I've made some progress.

I have joined the Vanz Unlimited group and the guys there have been very helpful :-)

Wanted / Mk2 Grille and Front Bumper in NZ

« on: January 12, 2016, 11:54:16 AM »

I'm looking for a grille and possibly a front bumper in NZ for my CF Mk2 280P Ambulance.
Auckland would be a bonus but I guess they can be freighted around the country easy enough.

Introduce Yourself / CF2 280P Ambulance

« on: January 12, 2016, 11:48:27 AM »

Hi all,

My wife and I have just purchased a 1986 Bedford CF2 280P Ambulance with the plan to turn in into a nice and simple camper.
We bought her on 30 December, flew half way down the country on New Years Eve then drove up the North Island on New Years Eve and Day. Was a great trip and Beddy ran great.

For the last 9 years it has been the promo car for The Rock radio station which either means it's been taken good care of or you know...
From what I can see she seems pretty standard with the 202 Red motor and trimatic. Reports are she has done over 400k but seems to run well.
Only thing that was hard was the noise from motorway driving so might look at getting a 4 speed for her. Which is the best and easiest to fit?

The old sign writing had been on for many years and has left not only ghosting but a raised outline which is proving quite difficult to remove.
I think she is going to need a new paint job which will definitely be a DIY job - just need to figure out how to actually do it haha.

Right now I'm on the hunt for a front grille as the one in there is cracked and missing a section on top left, 2 door mirrors (current ones are mismatched and very wobbly) and possibly a bumper as the old girl has had a ding at some point. Any ideas for where I could initially find a grill and mirrors?
