Re: what's my bodykit? (cos someone broke it)

The Bongo is back! It's a great repair job and the bumper feels stronger and more firmly attached than before :)

Re: V6 - which engine oil?

Stick with a V6, I had a TD one but the V6 is just so much quieter and stronger.
I just went round a lot of dealers in the south looking for a new shape V6 with AFT (Southern Bongos / 321 Away / NMA / Budget Bongos / Freespirit Autos / County Cars of Sussex, not Imperial is it was a bit far from me ...

Re: what's my bodykit? (cos someone broke it)

Ouch! Looks like a tree pounced on your Bongo! Hope you got a good repair done. (replacement or repaired bumper btw?) I'm hoping mine will be done this week. It feels like I've been bongoless for a couple of months but its only been a couple of weeks!

Re: what's my bodykit? (cos someone broke it)

Indeed, I was barely moving at the time as well. Thankfully the chap who hit me was apologetic, cooperative and insured :)
The garage have now decided they'll repair the bumpers as they can't get replacements ("American Monster" apparently) So only another few days of clunky gear changing in the ...

Re: Awesome body kits, low this mid boot spoiler

Great range of kit from here :) I found them recently and was thinking of ordering a rear bumper if my old one can't be repaired (my bongo is in the body shop at the mo as i got shunted)
Then I found UK based http://www.westwardleisure.co.uk which appear to do similar kit for less.
I hadn't noticed ...

what's my bodykit? (cos someone broke it)

I've only had it a month and already someone's shunted my bongo (1999 V6 silver new shape freda) and pushed me into another car, so now I have broken front & rear bumbers and a bent tailgate that won't open :cry: .

Timing-Belt and ATF Service Stickers

Hi folks I just bought a Bongo a couple of weeks ago and was about to get the timing-belt changed for peace of mind (it was a private sale with little service history) when I decided to check the service stickers in the engine bay (see attached pictures)

Someone has helpfully written "ATF" on the ...
