Re: Who's planning what?

Off to Shindig weekender in Bruton end of May, mountain biking mid Wales the week after, then Camp Bestival in July at Lulworth, and as many weekends in between as i can. Must try and make it to a Bongo meet at some time though, so many lovely people. There seem to be so many bongos (must be hundred...

When i had the passenger side seat up the other day i noticed the bit of gunk on the brass bit in the picture. Is this anything to do with temperature ? Its ...

Not quite as good as having the image itself but better than nada. Please let me know if the links are working

Re: Cigarette lighter

The old one appears to be dead when plugging into it. The USB charger that i have been using now will not work, but if i move it to my other car it works fine. There is 12v at the terminals on the lighter but not working. The one i bought are slightly too big to fit back into the space, one has an L...

Cigarette lighter

Has anyone replaced their cigarette lighter in the front ? Is there a part number for it ? I have bought two now from ebay that said they fitted the Bongo, and neither have. Really annoying as i use it plug a phone charger into.

Re: Change transmission fluid

Just been topping up the steering fluid this morning, and noticed (not sure why i have not noticed before) that there appear to be bolts missing from the engine ? Surely this cant be a good thing. Trying to post a pic but how ever small i make the image says its too big.

Re: DAB radio aerials

Sounds hopeful, i cant hold a signal sat on my driveway. My aerial seems to be a small t shaped affair behind the rear view mirror, but for all the good it does it just as well be under the bonnet.

Were the wires routed out of view in the window pillar ?

DAB radio aerials

Has anyone fitted a new DAB radio aerial to their van ? It looks like they go up the front window pillar and sit top right corner. Trims easy to get off for cables ? Any pics or tips gratefully received.
