The two front one's should have be replaced before now really and the I hadn't realised the backs were also very low on tread.

steering wheel quiver

Do you reckon this may be tracking or wheel ...

Re: Help! - Van won't start

panic over; should have had more faith in the bongo!, just a flat battery. Someone had left the interior light on and the van hasn't been used for a few days. (eveyone had denied touching the light but I know one perrson who definitly hasn't!)

The guy from the garage didn't even charge me ...

Nightmare! the Bongo won't start this morning. We've just returned from camping in the Gower and it won't start this morning.

It makes a repeated ticking sound - thats it.

I've got my local garage coming round later this afternoon, but I'm not sure now familar with Bongo's they are?

Any ...

Re: Servicing the Bongo, what shall I ask my garage to include?

If its an Auto and you're not sure when the gearbox oil was changed, i would get them to change it. It needs to be done aprox every 20K. (its a mega bill if it goes wrong, as i've just found out)
