Re: headlight adaptors

For those of you who may have a newer bongo (mine is a 2002) I emailed help@travelspot.co.uk this week to ask about how to position the eurolites on my bongo as it is not included in the instructions. A very helpful chap emailed the following picture back. He also told me that you only need the circ...

Going to France No V5 yet advice needed please

Hi all I purchased my bongo 6 weeks ago. Sent all the stuff off the the dvla as I should have done on the same day. We are due to travel to france in one week and I've just realised that I've not yet been sent a new V5. I do still have the new keepers slip V5C/2. I believe that there is a €500 euro ...

Re: Burning Oil smell from 2002 V6 advice needed

Thanks all for your help, this forum was one of the reasons that I decided to go down the bongo route and I'm glad I did. Phoned the dealer this morning who said he'd gladly have it back. Drove it back cautiously this afternoon and have left it there. I passed on what I'd been told re the potential ...

Re: Burning Oil smell from 2002 V6 advice needed

Thanks for replying. As it's under warranty I have emailed the dealer, I'll see what he says re having a look. The difficult thing is that its almost a 200 mile round trip.

Burning Oil smell from 2002 V6 advice needed

Hi All, I recently (around 2 weeks ago) purchased a 2002 V6, it's done around 70k miles, I'm the first UK owner. Seems to drive well but have noticed that particularly when I've stopped the engine and get out I can smell what I can only describe as a burning oil type smell. I've had a look under the...

Re: Bongo badges

Thanks for your reply. Yes I did buy it from Exeter. Interesting that you should say that! I'll ask at the main dealer as well as going back to the garage to ask. I'm presuming main dealer prices will be pretty steep?

Bongo badges

I've recently purchased a 2002 black V6 which is great. However, the front mazda badge on the grille has been cracked in the past and it has been painted black. There are also no bages on the back. Have had a good look online, ebay and also emailed a few dealers with no luck so far. Does anyone know...
