hi all Simon has checked the cooling system out, pressured tested from the expansion tank the same way the rac man did I the first time it happened and no leaks, pressure tested from the rad cap backwards and coolant blew past the expansion tank cap, so it looks like the cap was the problem, also th...

hi the first rac man bled the system, no bubbles then, he works on plenty of bongos in cornwall , the cambelt was changed not long ago by the last owner, I think she would not have had the waterpump changed at the same time, when we first had the van we had the lpg serviced, they said the top rad ho...

Hi all thanks for replies,the expansion cap went missing a couple of months ag0, I replaced it with one from a scrap bongo, the cap was marked up at 1.1bar, I like the sound of the scavenger fan override switch, my thoughts at the moment are to have the waterpump , thermostat and rad replaced, that'...

Hi no thermostat change, the temp gauge has never been above half way until Thursday,top and bottom hoses on the rad are both warm and the heater is blowing hot, my thoughts are the rad maybe partialy blocked,rac man thinks water pump has lost a blade.contracts mechanics Simon is going to do a leak ...

Hi All my v6 has started to blow the coolant out of the header tank,the problem started two months ago on a very hot day in cornwall, stopped for fuel coolant running out under the front passenger side of the van, rac man came did a pressure test, no leaks, topped it back up bled it and off we went,...

Hi all my Bongo started to clunk and sqeek from the front passenger side, it started at Glastonbury last weekend, when I brake the front suspension goes down but when it comes back up it clunks, and when I turn right it makes a sqeelin screechy sound , seems worse when its cold, drives great other t...

I use Simon at contract mechanics for my V6 , he sorted out the niggling problems on our van for us and serviced it, real nice bloke, he's mobile so maybe he could come to you, worth the trip anyway.

Hi all
just been refitting the leisure battery ready for the long hot summer of 2016 when I noticed the header tank cap is missing, not been under the bonnet since November when the bongo hibernation started , where can I get a replacement cap ?,maybe from another mazda.

we have the Vango Kela two, its been very good in all weathers, we bought it before we got the bongo !!, could maybe use just a little more space though, the sapera would stick out to far from the van for my liking, the Talli follows the line of the van but is a bit exspensive at the moment , I woul...

Hi All
The horn is still live with the ignition off aswell , be carefull not to put your foot on the horn in the middle of the night, makes you real popular on campsites if you do !!!.

Hi all
does anyone know if the meet up is still on ? , or did the height barrier kill the idea off?, maybe the venue has been changed, we're up for going if it still on.
