Got someone looking at it , says there's hope. Its all wheel arches the rear the worst and some chassis corrosion. Rocker cover gasket , and lots of minor things which won't fail mot but are annoying... Electric wlndow wiring, radio speaker wiring, all fixable but time cnsuming . and sourcing anothe...

Thanks for all the advice, Bongo isn't going to the scrap yard yet.. still going and a few months MOT. But Advisory list from last time long as your arm!, so time to look for another I think? First bongo was a newer v6 with no real problems. Unfortunately it had to be sold for other reasons :( and w...

Well, my bongo is terminally ill with the dreaded rust disease and too many other ailments so may soon be no more. .... I am very sad as I've had many trips both here and abroad, towing and solo. Who ever has the next oldest bongo, LOOK AFTER IT ! as I have not done and I'm sorry :( His birthday is ...

Well, agree with all of the above! Mine is 21 now, done 168000 ml ( it's converted to miles) I don't know what " model" its called, it's 2.5 diesel 4 wd side conversion with lifting roof. Yes they are " special" and not economical compared with small cars. Fun to drive though, I'...

Can't see a way to do it, but will try later.

I use mine for everyday (it's all I have), have done for a long time, ok its not as economical as a small car but it's a lovely drive!

Well, as I seem to be the oldest on the road, happy birthday to me! 21 and counting.. trying to post a picky...?

Hello from Wimborne 8) I'm not new to bongos - first got a V6 6years ago & loved it, but when it went I missed it so much, saw a diesel 4WD full conversion and had to have it! even though it was older. Now I found out it's the oldest on the road! it tows my caravan no problem, even abroad. But f...

well, looks like I am the oldest diesel! I'd better raid the bank and get them arches sorted as bongo is looking his age although still drives to work everyday and takes me on holiday (sometimes with the caravan)

Never worked out the mpg but I fill up to the lid and re set the mileage (It's converted to miles) and get over 300 to a tank for everyday use. Had 350+ on long motorway journeys doing 55/60. When towing the caravan it was way down, 200 ish.. but I didn't risk letting it go too empty with the carava...

I'm booked

Been with Scenic Ins. for both my first bongo (v6) and now my diesel, good price. It includes breakdown, recovery home start etc. . also in Europe as well including what I tow. Used it a few times no problem was usually RAC or green flag. Last year I had a flat in the caravan tyre in France, as I ha...

Oh well, I tried but cannot reduce the pic for an avatar. Tried photo bucket no luck with that either ..

was not me I'm trying to put on a pic, but have to downsize it ... not easy .

Well, us "M regs" are special, as are our garage bills! I never see any either.
