Thank you all for the great info and Haydn for chat the other week. Also sorry I haven't been able to update anyone or log in for the last few weeks but the good news is it's all fixed. New Rad, stat and flush has sorted it out and I have to say a big thanks to Clingwyn (Clyngwyn) Garage for the ...

I read in one part of the thread that coolant came out the expansion tank but it was also mentioned no coolant was lost. One of these cannot be correct. Sounds to me like either the water pump is not doing its job, there is a blockage somewhere or there is an airlock in the system. Get an external ...

Long shot
Do you frequent the road between Welshpool and Dolgellau ?
I Have a modified temp gauge and since first encounter with this road have added an additional gauge and modified the scavenger fan to come on with a dashboard switch.
No problems anywhere else in England or Wales.
Only on this ...

Thanks BongoBongo 123 - you must have posted just as I was replying to the others. I'm pretty sure the head is OK but will have another look tomorrow. We're really up in the wilds here too, love it :D

try changing the rad they get partially blocked, and 18-840c in the drawing below, this controls ...

Hi - many thanks for the replies and advice

If the rad ain't blocked and all else is ok and you've no coolant. Loss could it be the temp transmitter at fault?
You say the stat n all has been checked,might be worth a try.take it that the coolant is not building up pressure

Haven't checked the ...

I've had a search but couldn't quite find what I was looking for. Live in mid Wales so lots of climbs, the Bongo has always handled them well with no issues. It's a V6 with LPG and side conversion, I have a coolant alarm fitted but no temp alarm as yet. Anyway just before Christmas while driving ...

Many thanks for that - I couldn't find that under the search function. Big help, thank you.

Hi guys - been a while since I've been on here hope everyone is OK. Generally Bongo is running well however on the motorway yesterday I noticed this Heat light on the dash illuminated and I'm not sure what it's for (Cat Heater??) and what could have possibly caused this light to illuminate assuming ...

My wife's heading away for a few days on family matters and I thought I'd try and get away with my three young boys somewhere quiet and peaceful. We don't need hook ups or large sites and the more quiet the better, we're self sufficient in the Bongo. We live in the SE but can drive anywhere. Kids ...

Just wanted to say a big thanks to Dodgey for supplying me with the 100W panel that I've just fitted to my Bongo.

Installation was very simple, I followed all instructions but extended the wiring after advice from Roger as I couldn't easily route it in my conversion down the drivers side. I have a ...

I bought this and works well; the rear flap can remain open and the rest covered in the mattress parts for the kids, flap down with additional section for adults http://innovcampers.co.uk/index.php/mad ... -foam.html

As with many posting on here I would like to thank 321 Away for all the work they have done for me. I have not been the easiest customer to deal with but the Bongo and conversion were big investments for me, they did an excellent job and were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Thank you ...

Might something like this work. They are based in the states but worth considering.

If you have only access to the outside and it's a hole you are trying to fill try using a blind rivet fixing and once installed use a rubber washer and bolt from the outside tightened into the fixing. Only thing is I'm not sure how strong the GRP is when installing the rivet and you'll need a bit of ...
