Hi,

Unfortunately I have put my bongo up for sale. New job means I need a more economical daily drive I need to drive about 1000 miles a month now instead of working from home :-( The bongo has been sitting for about a month and when someone came to test drive it we found the passengers side front ...

only time I have used my recovery was last year. My other car is a 1974 VW Beetle (boy i know how to pick em) and at 11pm in Michaelwood services it wouldn't start after stopping for a coffee, troubleshooted it be the coil. That was about the only part I didn't carry as a spare for the air cooled ...

Well i got home. Bit of rubber tube I slit open wrapped around corroded bit and then many cable ties slowed enough to top up a few times.

The local garage to me is good and if i ask if they need to go near the coolant in any way they will tell me. If try so I will limp the hour to allens.

Thanks ...

so the ATF fluid is part of the cooling system? this is definitely red atf.

I am a complete muppet.... my recovery has expired.....

anyone know a bongo friendly Garage in West Oxfordshire? Even if I get recovered i have to figure out where to recover it too as home is an hour away from my Bongo guy (Allens)

There is a limit of 2 tonnes in weight so I will challenge it unless it weighs more than that?

Bugger!

I can see where the leak is now I have cleaned it up a bit.... I will never wear this 3 piece suit again!...... It's the thin'ish metal pipe on top right under the body. looks like someone has done a bodge job on it before. There is a small piece of rubber tube about an inch long.... that's ...

Hi Everyone,

I have just driven from Devon to Oxford to work for a couple of days and when I went out to lunch just now I see a pool of fluid stretching from midway to the rea of the van. Also some blown up the sides a bit. It's coming from the Auto box pipework somewhere. Problem is since chugging ...

Mine still does it occasionally. I have a stick that I use to keep the bonnet up and I give it a gentle push with that and the beeping stops

I second penguin.

I have the same conversion/fridge. Mine wouldn't start up and they were very helpful in diagnosing the controller unit as faulty. They will also test components if you send to them.

Some trouble shooting videos they made were very useful too, shows how to bypass components to ...

Thanks everyone, think I will save for a more substancial one.

Hi everyone,

Would installing something like this just be a case of connecting the controller directly to my LB?

I know it's only 20W but just looking to extend the battery life ...

Hi,

Thanks for all the advice. I am just going to leave it as is and then do another change at a much shorter interval in a few months. When I say black and old I meant like tar. I have an electric fluid pump that has done many diesel oil changes in the past and it really struggled to extract the ...

Hi eveyone,

Did an oil and filter change on my new bongo. It was so black and thick I was shocked. I used QX 10w 40 semi synthetic diesel/pertol oil and a Mann filter. Supposed to be good for diesel engines. After the change I can notice what sounds like tappets louder than before the change. Is ...

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all your help and input. New controller arrived, installed, and fridge now working :-) So happy. Going away in it tonight so just in the nick of time. While putting all the interior back together I was able to put some screws in that were missing too, and straighten things ...
