Re: Give us a brake!

From what I can gather there were some leaks, new hoses and seals as well as servo. So Bongo back in the morning but very empty pockets and no holiday - still we're safe I suppose. Was hoping to test it out campingwise for the first time :-( nevermind at least we're safe............ Think I'd better ...

Re: Give us a brake!

I wondered if the servo put on would be working too as it's come from the scrappers and they may have used the old seals, It's been there for months waiting for the insurers to receive an estimate and my little man and I have missed our first holiday.

Re: Poor Bleeder and we got hit by a Sprinter!

Awe no! I didn't like my bongo when I first got it felt I was ripped off but now I'd quite like to keep it. I don't think the coolant issue was due to the impact, it doesn't make sence. I don't think it overheated as I always keep my eye on gauge and nose on niffs lol. It was only driven 3 miles ...
