Re: York v Sheffield
Both Dore in Sheffield and Auto Safe in York are well-regarded for Bongo service. Dore has a good reputation for their expertise and customer service, but Auto Safe is also known for their thorough work and fair prices.

Re: Tent roof rails pulling out of AFT
You might try using a screw extractor kit to get them out. If the holes are stripped, you could fill them with a material like epoxy or a wooden dowel (if there's space), then re-drill and reattach the screws. Alternatively, larger screws or adding washers might help if the original holes are too ...

Re: Diesel injector pump ID
Possibly due to bad seals. The numbers you provided (WL04D, 104740-0823) indicate it's a fly-by-wire design. Make sure any replacement pump matches these numbers closely. Slight differences might cause compatibility issues, so double-check with a seller or specialist.

Re: Bull bar wanted
For your Bongo, it's best to get a bull bar designed for it. If not, universal or similar-model bars might fit with some modifications. Check with an auto shop for advice.

Re: Montague/registered camper with conversion as a daily?
I completely get your frustration! It is strange they do not permit using a converted Bongo as the main vehicle. I would check the specialist insurers from the clubs; they perhaps have better choices. It is too bad about the high quotes, especially when you compare them with your old Mercedes. Good ...

Re: Is there any adjustment on front passenger door
Check if the hinges are slightly bent or if there's any play in them. Sometimes, adjusting the striker plate can help with alignment, but it might not fix everything. If the hinges don’t seem adjustable, there could be subtle issues with the door itself.

Re: Front Window Blackout blind
Try checking VELUX and Blackout Buddy. I saw some around £40-60 for good quality.

Re: USA bongo mechanical help
Check online retailers like eBay, RockAuto, and Amazon for a new or used injection pump. Diesel parts specialists and local junkyards might have what you need too. Also, try Mazda or Ford forums—members often have leads or spare parts. Make sure to confirm compatibility and condition before buying.

Re: Montague/registered camper with conversion as a daily?
Converted camper-vans like your Bongo often need special insurance, which can sometimes be more costly and limiting. It is good idea to look around with insurers who know about these types of vehicles or talk to camper-van clubs for advice on where to get the best coverage. The bigger cost compared ...
