Anyway, just to say that I am off to the local festival that I was going to yesterday, so wont be able to thank people for their replies until Monday. H...

Mechanic caused more problems
I think an AA mechanic has caused more problems and your opinions and/or advice would be appreciated. I’ll try to be brief, but should give you all facts so please bear with me Yesterday I went to put up the driver’s window (electric) but it went down and would not come up. The switch felt different...

Re: Help, Bongo problems Lleyn Peninsula
:lol: My preferred garage for repair was closed this last week as they are heavily involved in the Carnival week here so Bongo was booked in another garage for replacement alternator yesterday. I was just getting a lift to where it is parked on Thursday night and hoping that my back would hold for t...

Re: Help, Bongo problems Lleyn Peninsula
Hi Guys I have been a bit lost Jilly! I'm at a friend's house as my back is still so bad I can't walk or stand up straight, my laptop was at home (got it today) and my phone packed up. So I couldn't report in to the forum about the joys of the 3 leg AA recovery What a palaver! We were supposed to se...

Re: Help, Bongo problems Lleyn Peninsula
:lol: :lol: bonglia - most excellent advice! I was rather hoping I could snooze in the bongo on the tow truck but figured I would have to sit in the cab with the driver. I've been on cocodamol for my back for 3 days, not that they have helped the pain but I will take 2 and say they make me sleepy an...

Re: Help, Bongo problems Lleyn Peninsula
AA are sending a nominated garage mechanic to look, eta 40 minutes ago, perhaps he is lost. Will see what he says. Ah, he has arrived and said that the alternator has gone. Doesn't know about the speedo but said I shouldn't drive it. The AA will relay me home tomorrow, which perhaps is just as well ...

Re: Help, Bongo problems Lleyn Peninsula
Thanks for your replies. I keep losing wifi at the campsite so can't always reply. Fuse looks ok, at least it looks like the others so nothing obvious to show it has gone. Leisure battery is under bonnet and I think is connected to starter one, but not absolutely sure. Either Haydn or Dodgey fitted ...

Any bongo mechanic in Lleyn Peninsula?
Hi, I have some problems with Bongo camping on Lleyn Peninsula, and I'm 9 hours drive from home.
Does anyone know of a Garage or mechanic familiar with Bongos in this area?
Wifi keeps going but hopefully I'll be able to look back here now and again.
Thanks if anyone can help

Re: Engine won't start up. Air in Fuel Line ?
I guess that's because I'm no mechanic and I used the wrong term by mistake. :oops: Sorry. I didn't mean turn over, I should have said it won't fire up. When someone got air out of the fuel line, it did start up. Then after being parked again for a couple of weeks it wouldn't fire up again. Battery ...

Engine won't start up. Air in Fuel Line ?
Hi. Happy 2015 to all. A bit late for greetings I know - I haven't been on the forum for a while. My bongo (2.5 TD 4x4) wont start. Plenty of juice in a new battery but I can't get the engine to turn over. It had been going well before Xmas but then I didn't drive it for a couple of weeks. Someone h...
