Re: Front seats stabbing me- too small...ideas/mx5..?
Hi and i know what you mean, it's the seat belt stalk that stabs you so refurbing the seats won't make any difference. Interesting thought about fitting other seats though.
The Gower

Re: Sticky throttle.
Hi and thanks Simon, better weather here today so i will to that this morning and see how it goes. I forgot to put 2.5d on an N plate so 95'ish and a auto. To be honest it's the auto bit that made it a real pain to drive especially at junctions and tight bends. We let you all know how things go later.

Hi, Autocraft in Chesterfield are doing a Fiamma F45 2.6m awning for £359. Would this fit onto the side of a AFT along the gutter or do i need any special brackets, many thanks for any replies Andy.

Coolant loss !

Needless to say pull into side of road and jump out and stand well back. Well thankfully not smoke so no toasted Bongo but a dripping ...

Towbars
Hi, i'm thinking of putting a towbar on the Bongo and am wondering if the mounting points are already drilled or is it more technical than this ?, also is it possible to buy the OE electrics and they just plug in or again more complicated than this, many thanks Andy.

Hope thi...

Re: West and North Coast of Scotland
We were based close to Oban for a week at the end of March and had great weather. No bongo at the time but just bought one and were planning to go up the west coast and do a bit of island hopping thanks to Calmac and then drive around the north for 3 weeks in July.
