Re: V6 Self-inflicted Misery in Southern Spain!!
Hi All - By way of an update The Bongo made it home safe and sound on a transported back to ADS in Bristol, final diagnosis was a failed ECU, i am unsure if this was a unlucky coincidence or due to, as a suspected the recovery driver leaving the ignition on all night. Either way, glad it’s all fixed...

Re: V6 Self-inflicted Misery in Southern Spain!!
Thanks again for the advice all, i have heard back from Britannia Insurance, the Bongo will be returned to the UK on the 18th September, YAY .
I cannot recommend Britannia Breakdown Insurance enough, start to finish they have been great, just need the Bongo back and fixed.

Re: Water in rear light clusters......
I had this in my rear clear lense on my tailgate, you need to remove the panel from the inside of the tailgate, remove both sets of the plastic capped nuts on the outer edge, remove the 4 gold captured nuts within the door, remove the two cross head screws. Unbolt the door handle from outside, 2x 10...

Re: Air-con system gas capacity???
I believe its 950 gramms of R134a, i would weight the refrigerant in and check the suction and discharge pressure are stable at around 3000 rpm. I would also check theres no frost back on the suction line to the compressor.

Re: New Bongo Owner, not the best of starts
I competely agree, i was going to mod the heater gauge with the installation of a resistor and fit a Haydn low level alarm.Velocette wrote:I would get a temperature and low coolant alarm, well worth the outlay.
