Ahoy!
These levers rattle noisily. Is it just a case of tightening up the nut on the cables? I know I can 'suck it and see' but thought I'd ask before I get off my arse and get the toolbox out.

Hi all

97 2.5 Diesel. Two related questions:

1. My temperature gauge has started barely working. It climbs from below the baseline marker to just about on it - so barely a couple of mm. The engine and rad etc, was replaced 6 months ago in Oct-24 by a Bongo specialist, and it has been finding 1100 ...

I think I have found an explanation on the Clinic questions under speedo. I will pass that to my Bongo engineering team! If I try and fix this I will probably end up disrupting the time/space continuum or worse! :?


A: Commonly, if the speedo is not ‘chipped’ (speedo reads in kms or miles ...

Yes the ECU reports that there is a fault by flashing the Hold light, you then need to readout from the diagnostic socket the actual errors that are being reported. If your a member then see the Fact Sheet in the members area or there is a web site that gives some info on early models http://www ...

I had a similar problem with the rev counter working intermittently and speedo being erratic then they both stopped working, I ordered a ne sensor from aliexpress about £12 , takes 5 minutes to swap and had no problems since


Hi Bazzog - I will give that a go. If you have got a link to the ...

Hi all Merry Xmas, etc!

Went out cold this morning and the gearbox HOLD light started irregular flashing as if a loose wire was causing it. The gearbox was not in Hold at all and the Hold button was not responsive (i.e. I couldn't get it into Hold if I wanted to). Also the Speedo was not working ...

Thanks Geoff. Yes it's a diesel. Just the head, not entire engine. Looking at the other posts and factoring in inflation as you say, I think the cost is reasonable. In for a penny in for £2500 quid

Hi all

Please can you give me your view of a quote for cylinder head replace and associated work?

The head's blown. As per my previous post there was a coolant issue after a coolant pipe was changed by my
Bongo specialist. Suspicion was the system wasn't topped up sufficiently and also needed ...

Thanks H. Good advice there and appreciated.

Ref the pipework, I have had a bit of a mare with that. First an AFT leak was fixed by my local garage with a rubber hose, then the power steering leak was fixed in the same way. They advised that permanent repairs would be required. So, off to my not ...

Hi all
Can anyone give me some advice on general engine cleaning, oiling, greasing and saving the mechanical bits and pieces. Here is a picture of the engine bay under the drivers seat. Ignoring the low power steering fluid - as you can see everything is generally rusty and dirty. What would someone ...

Thanks both. Another stupid question:

Why are there two different part numbers for the Heat Gauge 18-510 on the index? Is one for the petrol and one for the diesel variant?
JE151851X and KL011851X

Many thanks
Mike

Hi

My temperature gauge has stopped working (since a coolant leak was fixed funnily enough). Any idea which sensor needs to be replaced, or is it both of them?

Sorry if this has already been asked. I did find a thread but the links were dead so I couldn't see which one
it was https://www ...
