Re: whos going to the big bash from the north west

Bongo 2.5D filter kits

There are a number of different Bongo 2.5D filter kits on ebay, each containing oil, air and fuel filters, from different sellers at what look like bargain prices. It looks like they sell filters from different manufacturer's, most I've never heard of. Are any of these any good? Any recommendations ...

Manual heater control panel removal

I have got a strange intermittent fault on the front heater blower motor. The fault developed about a month ago. I usually leave the fan set to speed 1, but most of the time I start the van, I find that the fan is not running. However (and this is the strange bit), if I then set the air control to t...

To replace the belts loosen the 14mm nut at the bottom right of the alternator, and loosen the 14mm nut at the top left of the alternator. Then undo the 12mm bolt at the front top of the alternator to completely slacken off the assembly. Push the alternator all the way forward, and then you can get ...

Just had a look in the workshop manual, and it looks to be a solenoid that's part of the EGR system. Have you got a hot melt type glue gun? - or something similar - I would be tempted to try and bodge it back in place until you can get a 2nd hand replacement from a one of the Bongo spares places tha...

Hi Pete - yes I was tempted to try bleeding it using the hose pipe method, but I wanted to measure the qauntity of coolant coming out and ensure that the same amount was going back in afterwards :P I can appreciate your see saw method too, as that cooling system is a air lock magnet. :D Haydn I will...

Thanks for the reply Ian. Yes I probably am being a bit over cautious :lol: I've got a 50 mile round trip tomorrow so that should show if it's ok or not. Discovered another annoying fault on the van tonight, the drivers door window switch only works now when the doors completely closed. Open it a fe...

Another cooling system question!

Hi people - I could use a bit of advice from the seasoned cooling system experts. On Friday I replaced the waterpump on the van, and drained out and put back @8.5 litres of new coolant. I read the numerous threads on the subject of system bleeding and decided to stick to the workshop manual procedur...
