Re: Roof rack or bars for Bongo Friendee 2004

Where are you based

I’m thinking of selling my Thule aero bars as I simply don’t use them

I’m a regular metal tin top

Re: Recommend rear diff oil from eurocarparts


Hello.
A good tip I heard when changing the oil in the rear diff is to check the refilling nut can be undone before draining, as otherwise you could be left with no way of refilling after draining..




Hi Roy

Yes, I can imagine a lot of people get caught out like that.

Reminds when of when I ...

Recommend rear diff oil from eurocarparts

Good evening all

Can someone kindly point me to the exact type I need, ideally a part number

It’s a 2005 2.0 petrol, I suspect it’s never been changed

Is a flush a good idea or do I risk anything doing so?

Waiting for a decent discount code, then I ...

Re: Upgrading the coolant and AC fans

I guess you could try and find a bigger fan in terms of rpm than the factory one

If I was looking to spend money in that area I’d probably see if there was a bigger radiator that could be fitted

Re: Breakdown after leaving coolant cap off - what now?


Ok, I watched a vid on that before and it didn't look too tricky, shall watch again now. Is it likely to be a problem that we jump started it last night and revved it gently for 10/20 seconds. Sorry if it's a silly question .

Hi G8dhe

I may have to end up doing that, no motor factors seem interested in helping which is disappointing

Anyone else have any ideas?

Thanks
