Glove box lock
Has anyone managed to find a solution to enable locking of the glovebox? I was wondering if there might be another Mazda vehicle which was specced with a locking glovebox where the lock/handle might be switched over. Would be good to have somewhere secure to store items while parked (and yes I'm ...

Motorhome Protect (Lancaster sister company)
For the past 8 years I've been insuring my van with 2gether Insurance and the price was always roughly £250-275. This year the renewal went up to £400 so I did some shopping around. Most companies quoted similar prices, but then I went to Motorhome Protect who suggested I go for a Classic policy ...

Re: Mileage too high for purchase?
Just on the issue of what "self-contained" means - in New Zealand vans which have water storage tanks (specifically including waste) are certified as being self-contained and are therefore allowed to be used in locations where non-self-contained vans might not be.

Underseal London/SE area
I'm looking to get my Freda undersealed and wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a garage in the London/Oxford/Birmingham area (I'm in High Wycombe).
I know there was a highly recommended place in Hatfield but they seem to have gone out of business. I've also seen Before-n-After in Rugby ...

Replacement wheel studs
Does anyone know where I can find replacement front wheel studs?
I've found these at Mazdabongo.com but they seem a bit pricey:

Re: Help with price????
I know this is a very old thread, but I was interested in what Bongos cost when new..
Looking at the two very different answers posted above, I'm wondering if the discrepancy comes from not using the correct exchange rate at the time.
The current exchange rate today is about 160 Yen to the Pound ...

Re: Fitting Cruise Control - First thoughts
Simon was going to write it in 2008, I'm not sure he did. :) But if you look at his posts on this search, you'll see he mentions several things that will help you. https://igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/search.php?st=0&sk=t&sd=d&sr=posts&keywords=Cruise&author_id=936
Thanks very much, fitting it ...

Re: Fitting Cruise Control - First thoughts
Went ahead and ordered the AP60 from Australia via eBay. Going to install it this week - does anyone have a copy of Simon's installation guide? I can't find it anywhere on the members area.
Many thanks!

Re: Fitting Cruise Control - First thoughts
Does anyone know where I can get hold of a cruise control system compatible with the Bongo? The MS 50 and AP 60 seem to be available only from Germany/Australia for up to £500!
Apollo Motorhomes have the MS 50 for £149 but every time I try and buy it the website comes up with an error:

Brake Calipers - parts supplier
Hi all, a while back I was really struggling to find a reasonably priced front caliper for my Freda. Eventually found this place who were very helpful and very good on price. They also stock caliper service kits, pistons, etc. plus discs and pads:

Re: London Low Emission Zone.
Just spotted this Bongo for sale claiming to be ULEZ exempt:
