It has only taken me a few years to get around to replying, but just in case anyone else is doing the same thing.... in the end I did fit it where the mirror was (as suggested by ever after) I ended up 3d printing a simple blanking plate to stick the camera on, its here if its of use: https://www.th...

Thanks everyone, I have seen some people have fitted plastic covers to their arches. Do people do this to stop water getting in between the inner arch and outer arch? Or maybe do people just put them on so that don't have to watch while their arches rust away

Thanks for the help

Hi Bongonauts, Sorry if this has been asked before but I'm struggling to find an answer Many bongos fall foul of the dreaded rust on the rear arches and sills. My question is: are these these areas susceptible to rust because of known design problems? If so has anyone successfully found a solution s...

Hi all Has anyone replaced their seat/rock-n-roll bed upholstery? We are thinking of some nice stitched vinyl upholstery for the front seats and matching cushions on the rock and roll bed (we have a JAL imports conversion). Anyone know of a company that can supply this kind of thing and how much I s...

Great thanks, flipping the lens round is a brilliant idea!!

That's brilliant thanks, so did you glue it to the mirror mount? Is the viewing angle ok (because I guess these are designed to be fixed under the horizontal surface above the number plate rather than vertically)?

thanks again

I really like the idea of installing mine where the reversing camera was and that looks great.
Do you remember which camera you bought? Can I ask how you mounted it?

thanks

Thanks for that, I'll just stick with the key for the moment then I think

Hi all We finally bought our first bongo recently (many thanks to everyone on here who helped with advice etc) It is a 2004 2.0 litre petrol aero and I am in a similar position to Hank. The seller only had one key and no key fob so I don't know if it has remote central locking. Does anyone know if t...

Great thanks that's about 40 minutes away which is not too bad

Thanks

Hi all,

Does anyone know of any Bongo friendly garages near Basingstoke?

Thanks everyone

Aha, got it, useful stuff, thanks all ...

Ok, that's good to know thanks

That's interesting, thank you. I have read a lot on overheating on here, I didn't realise that it was more common in the diesel. Is it coolant leaking from perished hoses that is the common cause then?

Thanks, that is another good option, I will check to see how easy it is to find lpg in my area.
