Either from the club shop, or elsewhere?
I have a Halfords ...

Engine part needed - please help identify the pipe

Hi guys,

I took my 95 Diesel Bongo into the garage yesterday after experiencing cold start problems.

The garage identified that there is a crack in one of the metal pipes leading from the EGR valve to the manifold.
By doing a smoke test gases were seen to be leaking significantly from the cracked ...

Re: Rear wiper not working ...

I got round to investigating the rear wiper issue today, and sure enough, the wires had broken in the loom where they run from the door into the van.

Repaired it and now working again.

Thanks for your help!!!

Re: Electric mirror not working properly ??

Thanks both for your input.

I tried re-setting the mirror yesterday, and thought I had succeeded on the second attempt - no grating sound, but I did hear what I thought was the gear clicking backing into place.
Sure enough the mirror did then fold back in when pressing the switch on the dash, but ...

Rear wiper not working ...

Hi guys,

My rear wiper has stopped working today.

It happened once before randomly, and I had a look at it from outside and it started working again after gently moving it a bit. So I though it had just gotten stuck weidly that one time.

But today it has happened again, but this time it is not ...

Re: Anyone know what curtain hooks / gliders will fit the FRONT CURTAIN RAIL ??

Thanks,

After hunting around numerous curtain shops, fabric shops and hardware stores, and trying many different types of glider and hooks, I have now found a glider that fits the rail !!

Now to cut some curtains to the right size!
