Re: Open Mic Night

I've had no requests for the open mic night yet, surely you don't all want to listen to me all night 🤣

There will be several mics available and I can also do backing tracks and lyrics using Karafun.

So brush up on those power ballads and the soul classics and let me know your requirements.

Re: Tatting Classes and Demonstrations

My classes sound a bit naff now with all the experts wading in. :roll: Don't panic Baz, she was inspired to dig out the tatting by your Macrame class and was hoping to join you, but she won't be with us until Friday evening :wink: so thought something on Saturday would work. Anyway, all will be wel...

Re: Just got back...

Glad you enjoyed the weekend Nic - it was no problem "adopting" you as part of the Lewis clan for the weekend. We especially enjoyed being serenaded by the tin whistle over breakfast on Sunday - you play it very well. :D I'll just add my thanks to Ian and all the other volunteers for makin...

Re: V6 2000(W reg) auto box fault

The gearbox oil was changed when the van was imported 2 years ago and looks OK. The problem has developed over the last 6 months or so, starting with an occasional whine but steadily occurring more often and now displaying the error codes as well. Thanks for the link to Alacrity, I'll try and get ho...

V6 2000(W reg) auto box fault

I have a problem with my V6 automatic gear box. I have a (sometimes) intermittent whine when the Bongo is in Drive , usually from cold and continues when warm. The whine goes away when the automatic transmission is in lockup. The whine is from the gearbox, my local, friendly, mechanic has checked ou...

Re: My Bongo's got tinnitus, and other issues.

Did you ever get a resolution on this problem? My V6 (2000 W reg) is doing the same thing. The whine is from the gearbox, my mechanic has checked out the gearbox and says the whine is due to a pipe on the gearbox vibrating which might indicate a blockage or blocked filter somewhere. I haven't checke...

Re: Vehicle Excise Duty For Bongos

I have just imported a 2000 (will be W reg and is over 10 years old - just :roll: :roll: ) V6 which has not been converted (so should be registered as an MPV not a camper van) through Algys Autos. The tax on that for 1 year is £205 so it looks as if vehicles over 10 years old still fall into the def...

Logo Quiz

Many thanks to all of you who bought one of these off Angharad. They did very well and managed to raise £245. The winner with 143 out of 144 was Debra Wilson (unfortunately not a Bongonaut :( )
