Re: Shudder when idling at low revs

Does it stay at 600rpm even after the engine has warmed up. If it does then you might suspect the cold idle solenoid being faulty. I have one of these on my Bongo https://dynad.co.uk/eagle-cruise-control Apart from being able to use it as a cruise control of sorts, its handy for locking the throttle...

Re: Just another 800 mile trip......

A repeat of last years trip, maybe only 600 miles, but yet again not a beat missed. I keep thinking its time to sell the Bongo and get a newer car but honestly, I don't think I could find a better one. One of my mates on this recent trip has just forked out £2k for a replacement AdBlue diesel tank o...

Re: I’m Glad I Went To Bongo Spares….I Can See Clearly Now The Crack Has Gone

Can you believe it. 16 years and no issues with Bongo windscreen until earlier this year. New one fitted, first motorway trip the other week and a stone flies up and puts a small crack in it. Grrr. Its small and way over at the edge of the passenger side so I'm hoping not to have to fit another repl...

Re: Another MOT passed and hello to old friends

Good to hear from you Mike, like you I don’t spend so much time on BF as I used to but I do keep nipping in/out. I remember way back when you were the first Guinea Pig to fit one of our newly developed Low Coolant alarms. Daughter Jo is now running the shop and doing plenty of business with all sor...

Re: Help with price????

I know this is a very old thread, but I was interested in what Bongos cost when new.. Looking at the two very different answers posted above, I'm wondering if the discrepancy comes from not using the correct exchange rate at the time. The current exchange rate today is about 160 Yen to the Pound, b...

Re: I’m Glad I Went To Bongo Spares….I Can See Clearly Now The Crack Has Gone

Dohhh… Never thought to meet up. Fairly long journey up as there was train mischief, but Bristol, Birmingham, Bradford, came in at a bargain £11 on National Express, then Halifax and Rishworth on local busses. (Senior coach card.) I stayed one night at the Malthouse just down from BS, pretty good. ...

Re: I’m Glad I Went To Bongo Spares….I Can See Clearly Now The Crack Has Gone

Well done Mike, and the Bongo Spares team. =D> By chance I picked ours up from there yesterday, major work, but they have done me proud. 8) Dang. If I'd known, we could have met up for a cherry cola ha ha. Yes I was impressed by how good the vibe was there. V pleased to hear you're sticking with th...

I’m Glad I Went To Bongo Spares….I Can See Clearly Now The Crack Has Gone

…I can see all obstacles in my way. :lol: My windscreen cracked last week. Don’t recall a stone hitting it though there was a chip near the crack. I was concerned to get the replacement done by an outfit that knew Bongos (having read a few bad news stories about them being fitted at home by a large ...

Re: Christmas 2022

Merry Christmas to all Good Bongonauts wherever they may be and here's to hoping that 2023 will see more light return to the world. In the meantime, of all the songs I've kept busy recording through Covid lockdown, and on and on, I think this one best sums up a good place to be at times ha ha. https...

Re: Another MOT passed and hello to old friends

Hi Mike Well done to Mango Bongo on the fresh medical certificate. :D Ours is currently with Bongo Spares for a bit more than the usual MoT welding, but he’s worth it. Hope Trish is well. Bob and Sue Great to hear from you Bob (and to read all the other replies) and to hear that Bongy is cherished ...

Another MOT passed and hello to old friends

I don't post much on BF these days but thought I'd say hi to old friends and let them know I still have my beloved old Bongo and that it has just passed its 16th MOT in my ownership after its usual annual welding holiday. In all the years I've had it, it's never broken down or failed to start except...

Re: Just another 800 mile trip......

Great to hear from you and to see you're both still on BF Bob and Muz, though I had to sit down and reach for the smelling salts when Muz said he'd just done significant miles......not in a Bongo. Are you now Bongoless Muz? Mine just keeps on trucking and I can't get my head around life without it. ...
