Slightly off topic, being a manual makes it a rare one.

Re: fiamma awnings
Fitted the F35 to ours, maybe in hindsight the roll out type may have been better, but the F35 is lighter weight and isn’t too much faff once you get the hang of it. Two person job if you want easy life but I have done it solo.

Re: Rear Inner Arch replacements
Fabrication job. Even if available as original Mazda inners, your outer is probably the Sprinter arch so will need fabrication to get everything aligned.

Re: which Sprinter wheel arch
Make sure you remove the interior trim and anything that can catch fire ... it’s not unusual for vehicles to catch fire otherwise. I’ve got the full side conversion and rock n roll to remove, plus interior trim before my garage will go near it.

Re: Gear shifter
Cheers Bob, I’ll take a look over on YouTube over the break- that’ll be better than Wizzard of Oz or the usual Christmas BBC stuff.
Have a good one.

Re: Lamda sensor for 2005 Bongo 2.0 petrol
Our 2.0 ltr suffered the same with the sensor. Wired an aftermarket generic one in (sliced cables). No issues or bother since it was done.

Re: Advice on treating rust
Fourth photo down looks like it could be more than surface rust. If you’re brave give it a poke with a screwdriver... you’re not alone with the constant battle against rust.

Gear shifter
Okay, I’ve had to think long and hard about the title to this thread - I could have called it ‘sticky k***’ but want to keep this clean ( the gear shifter that is)😀. The issue is this, the plastic has gone sticky with age and feels sticky and collects dirt. As our Bongo has the grey interior it look...

Re: Slow performance up hills
If you manage to get an uninterrupted run-up all is ok, if you get someone dithering and then slowing before accelerating up the hill, the 2.0 is usually left struggling and clawing it's way up in a very sedate fashion. Used to it now, time to admire the views :lol: I’m based up in Scotland, so alt...

Re: Slow performance up hills
If it’s a 2.0ltr Petrol like mine, it hates hills and protests by dropping down the gears to increase noise whilst slowing forward performance. Hopefully you get yours to improve

Zen and the Art of Bongo Maintenance sums it up in so many ways, either when she’s broken down or buzzing along an open road - just makes you smile and enjoy life. Read the book if you haven’t.

Re: Stuck At Home During The Pandemic?
If anyone has any ideas how to convince an 88 year old Mother that 'coming through the war' has not made her, and all her friends' immune to the virus I would be very grateful. ](*,) I suppose you could show them this link to illustrate what can happen when you ignore the rules https://www.bbc.co.u...
