We have a 2003 2.0lt petrol in black and someone has just reversed their tow bar through the grille :( The number plate is cracked and the paint on the bumper is scratched. The police have contacted the woman responsible and she's admitted doing it and making off. I've now got to contact her and dis...

Actually, we changed both the rad and the expansion caps.

Well, despite much of what's said and what a couple of garages told us, I didn't want to believe it was the head gone. So, I changed the rad cap, stat and water pump. Then, I followed the youtube videos about how to properly bleed the Bongo. And............since then, the van has been perfect, for 2...

At long last, I can join the Yorkshire roll call, having been in Bristol for too many years!
Originally from Sheffield myself, and Sophie Bristol - but now in (mostly) sunny Scarborough.
Seeing one or two up this way an looking forward to some more northern waves!!

Bit fiddly getting it back in place though it was more a matter of luck than skill I think!

I was only playing with it a bit and the button sort of pinged off :oops: Now the handbrake doesn't erm, brake and the button doesn't work. Could someone please tell me how to fix it??

Cheers for the replys everyone!!
Choices choices!!

I'm going to change the oil and filter on the van shortly.
I've read that I should change the copper washer when I do it.
Anyone know what size washer I need before I take it all apart??

Nice one!
Cheers very much for the replies!
