weve booked, will figure out if you're all wierdos before formally joining the society of the bongo.

Thanks both; I’ll get a tray under there this week

Hi there - strange patch on the driveway, about 2m from front of Bongo towards rear, pretty central. What are the possible culprits? Petrol? Wouldn’t have thought petrol could slow leak but maybe with temperature fluctuations.

Water spots near front wheel and rear normal, but central I’m confused ...

i do hate that nearly all car radios look like they were designed by and for teenage boys. trying to find a carplay unit with a physical volume control is difficult, but there is the odd one out there, mostly from random letter amazon brands. this one has semi decent reviews but i've not yet ...

I have two rows of isofix. I've actually put the baby seat in a rear-facing row (still with the baby seat facing the rear of the vehicle). makes for a much more pleasant journey when you can sit in the forward facing row and see one another.

Where is the best point to attach a lap belt and fastener on the split bench seat?

I've reversed the middle bench and would like a lap belt (yes I know not legal requirement)

Is it a case of re-using existing bolts or do I need to attach / drill something?

this is really doing my nut in. with or without plastic fascia over the wiring connector box it squeaks and squeals. shoving a sock in there did not help...

not sure how the bar could be the culprit; sound is localised to driver side right around the wiring. i'll see if i can make a video.

Adrian Flux were good for me; they know their stuff.

The other insurers I tried wouldn't quote a grey import.

FWIW the underseal treatment (if they've done that) can smell of petrol if it's thinned with a bit of petrol to get it out of the spray gun.

Any more thoughts on this? Mine took 45l today. Mines an R reg so no light at empty, bit I ran it as low as I dared and could only put in 45. I'm trying to work out the mpg so just need to know the numbers for calcs.


i would go from low as you dare then full around three times, say that's 135L ...

I've just had to pay adrian flux another £70 to add 2,500 miles, because we've done 7,000 since February, and plenty more trips planned!

does anyone else's wiring box (near right-knee area of driver's side seat) make a (bloody annoying!) squeaky rattling type noise? I've tried tightening the screws but don't want to over-tighten. Might just wedge a sock in there to dampen it.

thought worth asking if anyone else has experienced this ...

Having removed the rear heater/aircon matrix thing in mine and capping the pipes off, I took it to a local garage who tested for leaks. After ascertaining that there were no leaks (yay!) they re-gassed it. All for £80. Might be worth getting the same done with yours. The compressor was making some ...

if off-road is a major concern, a smaller 4x4 with a roof tent might be a better option. Jimny / Land Cruiser / Pajero etc.

hello there!

I've had the belt tension re-adjusted, no squeal so far but the aircon is still intermittent.

i'm looking for advice whether re-gassing the system is liable to
a) help
and/or
b) rule out any other issues

any guidance before I drop £80 on gas?

thanks
