thanks for that. All seems pretty straight forward then

I've a bonnet bra and swear by them.

Unfortunately unless you can find someone to make one, you are limited with what is around!

The previous posts about 'tide' marks and rust are true. However, what I do is; remove bonnet bra and put in a 30/40C wash to get rid of all the residual dust/grit/sand ...

hi friends, hoping to invest in a bonnet bra soon but unsure as to where is best to look. does anyone have one fitted? if so where from please. do they come in different colours? had a look at van x but they seem to be limited on desigins and colours unless you can create your own?. any help would ...

hi friends, just purchased a front bull bar with spots, sump plate etc and im reassured that it will have all the bolts and fixings when it arrives. but i could do with some advice on wether its hard to fit or any tips on how to fit it please. bit of a semi novice diy er but prepared to have a go ...

most probably right but how do you get the unit out to replace the bulb? tryed removing it with some old radio keys down each side and it will come so far but not enough to ...

i have a 96 4wd bongo and just recently noticed that the heater unit in the dash doesnt light up at night even when you have the driving lights on. the dial that you turn for the fan speed settings i.e 1,2,3,4 with the little light does light up and also when you press the aircon button that lights ...

Do you know if they were cheap glow plugs ,should be on your invoice.better fitting NGK or Nippon denso glow plugs.might be worthwhile making ure they are the correct length

If its a diesel could be glow plugs x4 are not all working .this can give three or less cylinder start up rough and smokey

Good luck


hi thanks. we had a complete service about 3 to 4 months ago and we had all the glow plugs changed ...

hi.
did the blue smoke start when the outside temps dropped, if so it could just be the cold start working as it should.

when the bongo coolant is below about 10 deg c the 1st stage cold start comes on, the left hand solenoid on top of the glow plug rail. this works until the coolant is above ...
