Is there a lot of dismantling involved to get at these then?


I would like to have a go at doing these but as i said earlier i don't have a lift/ramp and will be doing it ...

Coolant and hoses change

I have seen the vids on how to change the coolant and think i will give it a go. I realise how important it is not to get any air pockets etc.

I also have the four main hoses i want to swap over as well as the two metal coolant pipes that run under the driver and passenger seat. How hard is it to ...

Re: Knocking front end

It is indeed four wheel drive..

I will lift it and see if there is any play anywhere, it sounded like a similar knock before i changed the drop links.

Will investigate further and report back..

Knocking front end

I have a knocking sound coming from the front end when driving. It seems to get worse after prolonged driving. I have replaced all four drop links and the rubber bushes also. I have checked and all seems stiff and tight as it should.
What else could be causing a suspension knocking problem?

It came with my Bongo and has barely been used. It isn't that heavy ...

Inner roof panel removal

I want to remove the inner lift up roof panel as the one fitted in my bongo is split in two.

The hinges appear to bolt under the headlining which looks a pain to get to. Anyone tell me the order of things to remove so that I can swap out this panel for a replacement?

Removing headliner

I want to replace the inner lifting roof panel of my Bongo and had a quick look this morning. It appears that the hinges are bolted through the roof and the bolts are under the headlining.

Any tips for removing the headlining and is it a big job to get to these bolts?
