Thanks for the info and advice.
Looking forward to it.

Hi Ian,
Great to see the dates for 2022. As a very new bongonaut, where would this be held?
Cheers

Thanks guys and again appreciate your guidance.
Since your posts earlier, they have completed the work. Final checks and test drive tomorrow. So am eager to get Garfield back home and prepped for holiday round Scotland.

Hi all, Dropped Garfied (V6 2.5 Petrol Auto) off to the Kinloss Garage today for the timing belt change. After guidance from the collective, provided them with a timing kit, hydraulic tensioner, Water pump, cam seals and a crank seal. They said the cams seals and crank seal would require some additi...

Cheers Oibaf,
Will take your advice and thanks very much for taking the time to post.
Again. Cheers

Hi Doone,
Took your excellent advice.
All parts advised have been ordered, except the guidewheels. Could not find them on the Bongo shop.
Perhaps Ian will enlighten me on his return from the bash.
Best regards
Sheb

Doone, Thanks for the advice. Since my post this morning, I have requested the Kinloss garage to assess the guidance from you guys and give me a price to use the Cam kit, replace water pump, supplied by them, in addition your suggestions. Of course have also asked them to ensure no duplication with ...

Morning Doone, I have ordered a 2.5l V6 cam belt kit from the Bongo shop already, does this kit not have the bearings in or am I missing the point. Not mechanically upto speed yet. Now worried I ordered the wrong part and other stuff needed to ordered. when you say "5 seals (cam & crank), b...

Doone,
Thanks for the heads up. Just end to find out what all those extra parts will cost. Are we taking £500 or less?

Geoff, Thanks for that. Will make sure our Bongo has a full check over. If I find any issues, I will just have to deal with them. Not a good start but fingers crossed. Did ring the previous owner again and he did not have any major problems over the five years he had it. Time will tell. All the best...

Hi all, Just been chatting to the previous own of our Bongo. He bought it from Jcs (Sw) Ltd in Bristol back in 2015, as the first UK owner. Is there any adverse history with this company in the past? Just want to be prepared for any unknown issues. Will be getting our Bongo looked at whilst it has a...

Thanks for the guidance.
Doing NC 500 last week in July.
Just ordered Kit from the Bongo shop. Realise that the bash is on at the moment and delivery may be delayed, so have booked Kinloss garage to do it w/c 12th July. Just labour around 8 hours work. Circa £500.

Cheers Geoff/ Bob, if no indication under bonnet, I will need to get a small mortgage for the work.

Hi all,
Apologies if this has already been asked. Brought a Bongo V6 a couple of weeks ago. Its now done 100k Km. Is their any way of visually checking if the timing belt has been replaced in the passed? If not, I will get this done soonest.
Cheers

Geoff, thanks for the feed back.
I do have some lengths of 6mm and 8mm figure of 8's so will give it a go.
Much appreciated.
