Re: Newbie question: A bongo as everyday transport?
Mine's a 96 2.5TD Freda, had it 7 years now and love it to bits. This year has needed the most work - welding done on wheel arches, sills, front cross member - and a new thermostat but other than that every MOT has been either passed or failed on normal stuff that is consumable anyway.

Re: Problems after garage work - reduced current and heater issues

Have passed on all this info and we will work through it tomorrow evening - fingers crossed. If all the hoses are hot (I don't have a rear he...

Re: Problems after garage work - reduced current and heater issues
Thanks. Just spoke to the welder and he didn't touch the coolant system, and the main garage had no reason to either (waiting to speak to them) so how can it get an airlock suddenly?
