Worth keeping it up to date for your own records, I can never remember when the next one is due if I don't keep a note of the last one.

Welcome aboard Stubbsy, hand book says 1.8 bar, front and 2.4 bar, rear for standard tyres. I know a lot of folk on here successfully run higher pressures.

Might be worth trying a search for 'Tyre AND Pressures'.

definitely go with trying to stop the 2 bits freezing together rather than trying to seperate them when frozen. I have sprayed de-icer on the closing parts with good effect in the past, before closing.

Could try a course with your local IAM Group. Don't have to go on and take the advanced test if you don't want, but it will improve your awareness.

Fairly rare, but they do come up, I'd also be interested in if you can retro fit standard parts as this could be a good option.

Hi Matt, welcome aboard, since you haven't yet bought your Bongo, and your looking for some off road capabilty, it is worth taking the time to source one with the limited slip diff option, no centre diff lock on a Bongo.

You'll have found the best method for bookings, but would it be possible to take them by e-mail or post, Ian?

I'm with the others here, a 2 1/2 litre diesel should do at least 200 000 miles, so the differance between 50 000 and 70 000 is not significant. My 18 year old car, 1800 petrol, has covered 160 000 trouble free miles, just keep on top of the service schedule and save the money. To prove the mileage ...
