Re: Valuing parts

Thanks so much for your reply. As I’m on the Isle of Man it will be advertised here and it will be buyer collects or I can deliver. Thanks for your opinion re value. Much appreciated. Graeme.

Re: Advice pre a sad farewell

Final sad update. So all the welding that has been done to date on the receiving bongo is best described as suspect and transplanting the conversion and having the leisure / EHU plus transplanting an engine is just a stretch too far for me. I'll be parting mine out and will offer bits on here first ...

Re: Advice pre a sad farewell

Re: Advice pre a sad farewell

Thanks guys It really is that bad! It was very old under seal holding her together. In the upside I have an unused rear cross member coming on the market when I pull myself together. New base vehicle is something I have considered but living in the island make things much more challenging. Thanks ag...

Re: Advice pre a sad farewell

Thanks Bob.
I didn’t think I would be as gutted as I am. More than a camper. Will miss the knowledge base of this forum too. Some exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful people on here.

Re: Advice pre a sad farewell

Thanks so much for your reply. 95 TD. Alloys, collant alarm, all coolant pipes renewed 3 years ago. New disks, pads calipers etc all round last August. Rust definitely terminal. Have an unfitted rear cross member too. Rust isn’t just cosmetic, it’s very structural and we use her for a lot of miles. ...

Advice pre a sad farewell

Re: Rubber brake hoses

Thanks for the ideas. Unfortunately I am abroad and the garage needs them asap.

Can anyone possibly pass on the details that I could use to get them made up or check the pre fabricated ones.

They are for a 95 2.5 TD 2WD
Will try the suggested sites too. Thank you.
TIA

Rubber brake hoses

Hi Anyone got any advice for sourcing replacement front brake hoses. The garage can fabricate the metal ones, it's the rubber ones that are elusive. Getting desperate now as trip fast approaching. Any other Mazda models work or anywhere that can make them up? Any help very gratefully appreciated. Gr...

Re: Cooling Help Please! At the end of my tether :{

If it was cooling ok at high speed and therefore lots of air over the rad, could it be a water pump?
