Re: Part ID please

Thanks for the suggestions folks. My neice and her husband have had another good look around underneath but still can't find anything missing. I've emailed the pic to Adrian (Alvos Trading) who looks after my Bongo and I reckon if he doesn't recognise it then it's not off a Bongo! I'll let you know ...

Re: Part ID please

Sorry, my mistake - it's rear wheel drive 'Aero City Runner' (whatever that is) - year 2000

Part ID please

Anyone recognise this? My neice spotted it lying on the drive after they reversed onto the drive. They assume it fell off from somewhere on the Bongo but can't figure out where it might have come from. They have a 2ltr petrol manual front wheel drive (MK2?) https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/501098...

Re: Bongo heating recommendations!

Picked up one of these the other day at Lidl - Salter 500w heater. £14.99. Great..!

Re: Mystery object

Thanks Ian. Looks like it's not off the Bongo anyway.

I will need the exact model and serial number before I can allocate prize money..... :)

Mystery object

While searching for something that had dropped down into the nether regions behind the driver's seat I found this bracket wedged under the kitchen unit. Anyone recognise it and know where it might belong? Of course it might not be off the Bongo. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1781/43080841942_6d7c11...

Re: Headlight refurbishment steps DO NOT DELETE

I think I've still got the drawings and photos somewhere. They were hosted on my ntlworld webspace but Virgin pulled the plug when they took over. I'll see if I can dig them out and find somewhere to host them. I try to avoid my current webspace for message board links as I'm usually near my bandwi...

Re: Headlight refurbishment steps DO NOT DELETE

I've just done mine with the Autoglym kit. Almost identical to the 3M kit and identical results. £24.99 from Halfords but you can get it a bit cheaper on ebay. Yes, a bit daunting at first but very satisfying when you see the results..! Edit - bloody Photobucket, I'd forgotten I had my avatar on the...

Re: Breakdown insurance for Ireland.

A quick update - gone with the AA. Slightly more expensive than what my current insurers quoted but I don't have the hassle of having to supply service history.

Re: Breakdown insurance for Ireland.

Thanks roosmith. Yes, I think I should have done more research - I certainly will when it comes up for renewal (not until December unfortunately).

Breakdown insurance for Ireland.

My breakdown insurance covers me for Northern Ireland but not for the Republic, I have to take European cover. They don't normally cover vehicles over 15 years old but said they will consider it if I can send them 5 years service history and at a cost of £167 for three weeks. I can do the history th...

Re: Droning noise

Update 2 -

All fixed. New wheel bearing fitted but also the hub was damaged as it had overheated (oops..!), so if you suspect a wheel bearing problem best to get it looked at as soon as possible. Fortunately Adrian had a 2nd-hand one in stock.

Nice and quiet now.... :D :D

Re: Droning noise

Update - Had it checked by the local garage in Caithness, and he said it was the wheel bearing (front offside) but the Bongo wasn't on his supplier's list and he wasn't at all convinced they would send the correct part. However, he said that it wasn't serious yet and should be okay to drive home so ...
