Hi,
There is some(one)body there. This was/is a nice site with technique and human interest. But the light is getting dimmer.
My Jumpy sat without one ignition for more than a year. I have replaced some parts, got 2(!) ECU's checked and theft control disabled and still not any ignition. Yet another analysis of the electrical system. I bridged the left part of the double relay and at last the engine came to life. Perhaps a combination of theft control and the double relay having faults.
But than again, not of any interest to somebody driving HDI.
Cheers
Work slow, the quickest way to prevent faults

Are you my van twin?? Even with the side windows, although I'm jealous of how big your side windows are
I've also noticed the forum being quiet these days, but I'm always happy to see new posts appearing on here

Not so Leo, I'm always interested in any tips, tricks and bodges about keeping these old vans running
I considered getting the immobiliser disabled on mine to make it simpler and less prone to problems down the road
What ecu does yours have? mine has the Bosch edc15c2.

Glad to hear there are still a few of the old faithful vans (and drivers) about.
A year without mine, still running the Honda but it's never been right. Even lashed out for a main dealer!
They all say that the problem is that the software to trouble shoot isn't available in the UK.
It has many things that are, technically speaking, far superior to the Expert.
But the only one I really need and appreciate is the auto gearbox. My legs are knackered.

Can I call myself a faithful driver, or am I more of a naive fool at this point

I have no doubt any Honda will impress compared to an Exp/Dis/Scu
2 years of ownership and there nothing about the van that suggests high quality.
they're basic Eurovans and all old bangers now well beyond their expected life span
but if can get few more years out the thing without expensive problems, I'll be ok with that.
Oat, remind me what Honda you have?
