Re: Under BONNET and DRIVERS KNEE FUSES

Thanks for reply. Visually examination? Looking at the top of the PLASTIC LID fuses there would appear to be a small green oblong. In some FUSES the green oblong is black. Up for testing all FUSES after removing from 1-20 slots in the drivers knee fuse box. How is this done? Do you just touch the me...

Starter Motor

Does a 1995 Bongo starter motor require any servicing?
For example, oiling, without removing from vehicle.
There would appear to be two plastic grommets on mine.
On EBay there are two separate listings for a new BONGO 2.5 TDI starter, both less than £90.
Has anyone any experience with these units?

Re: N364 RGD STOLEN

ALL GREEN WITH NO DECALS. I could spot my Bongo from outer space. Two years ago she was re-sprayed dark green again(the original colour) As part of the preparation all the decals/transfers were removed. The elevating cream roof was changed to green. Looked better than brand new with no garish transf...

DUST COVERS to pass MOT

My MOT tester has advised that both o/s and n/s track rod end & lower suspension arm ball joints dust covers are "excessively damaged". (there is a small split in one( n/s TRE) which is kept closed by the weight of the Bongo BUT the other 3 seem to be intact). Various suggestions : Rep...

Re: MacDonalds wifi in France

Have a laptop but have never used wifi in France.
Do you need to buy extra pieces of kit or contact your Broadband provider before leaving the UK?
(Hoping to use this facility while at McDonalds near Mulsanne corner)
