Dim headlight - ground issue?

Hi all, The nearside headlight on my Bongo is a bit dim (along with its owner :lol: ) It's noticeably dimmer than the offside one both on dipped beam and full beam (doesn't appear to get any brighter at all, although the offside is fine).

Re: Heater problems and struggles with first gear

Thanks for the replies - looks like it is a coolant issue so will get that seen to as soon as I can and hopefully all will be well again!

Coolant leak - looking for a garage near Bath

Hi all, My Bongo (well, Freda) decided to dump its coolant on the road when I pulled off recently. I was only taking it across town and it hasn’t overheated but there’s nothing left in the header tank. I’ve taken it to a local garage here in Bath before where one of the mechanic’s dad used to import...

Heater problems and struggles with first gear

Hi all, My bongo ('96 V6 AFT) has recently developed a couple of problems which I'm hoping you knowledgeable folk might be able to help with :wink: not sure if they're related or just happened to come at the same time. First is a problem with the heating - it just blows cold air and never gets hot. ...

Re: Rest of the West Roll Call

Hi all,

Have recently become a Bongo owner (well, Freda!) in Bath.

AFT 2.5 V6. Fairly high mileage but low rust levels! Although do need to get one of the wheel arches seen to.

Looking forward to getting out and about!

Mike

Wanted: Front curtains

Hi all, I've recently become the proud owner of a Bongo (actually a Freda) which has the factory front curtain rail fitted but the curtains are long gone. (It still has the original rears.) Does anyone have a set that they don't need? Would be much appreciated and easier than making replacements (bu...
