Hi All. some may remember me from years ago. I sold my Bongo about 8-9 years ago due to getting a company vehicle and had nowhere to keep her, sad day that was and still miss her. I was wondering if anyone knows of her whereabouts, she is still taxed and mot'd. She is a silver tintop ( or was when I ...

Also if it goes pop after being in use for a while there will be boiling coolant spraying down to both footwells.

have today found some near replacement fans, not a simple bolt in but all the internal bits useable, only bit from bongo one is the case and magnets. two screws and one nut and it all just pulls out tried it today and they worked fine.

Mine is the manual type heating system. Was looking at a fan from something else not 208 will do some investigating.

After having my fan seize and burn out the resistor I paid a trip to my mates scrap yard to see what donors could be used. Found two that were suitable for minor modification one from a Suzuki baleno and one from a kia sportage

Hoggman, I have had trouble with Halfords paints not matching before on a Vectra. I have found the best thing to do is use a motor factors that will match your paint to colour swatches (will take into account fading and non standard colours) and then make some spray cans up. I used to use someone ...

that is correct. I used the carcass of my cluster and used the speedo, fuel guage (mine was faulty)and temp guage from the mx6 cluster then changed a bit of wire to give the fog warning light.

I have already found lots of bits and changed them (speedo cluster with fog light warning light, window switch, interior light with clock built in, rear view mirror) it's things like central locking motors,window (and blind) motors, electrical and mechanical bits that mine either hasn't got (mines a ...

Hi I was wondering if whilst people are taking bits off their Bongo's and they take any pic's of bits (not easily got at bits) They could send some to me. Reason being my mate owns a scrap yard and when he has Mazda'a in I have started to strip lots of bits out to see which parts from which car ...

Been towing a caravan with mine (2wd tintop) for years fitted an anker towbar (was cheaper), not fitted spring assisters as if the caravan is loaded sensibly and weight is distributed evenly they shouldnt be needed and not fitted any extra cooling devices.

If you could post a pic I will have a look at other mazda cars in my mates scrap yard to see if there are any the same, have just found out that the interior door pull pockets on a 95 323 are the same as a bongo so now have a spare black pair.

When I first got my bongo the soft close had been dissconnected and I didnt know it had it until I saw another bongo's door lock itself. mine would close tight without the softclose so if yours doesnt it must be one of the latches or if the cables to the latches in the door have become dissconnected ...

mine has the wiring for fog lights where the switch should be and a spare plug on either side below the headlights but have not been able to find anywhere that could accomodate a relay.

The fan you can hear might be the bulkhead fan, yes there is two on the back of the radiator but also one under the bulkhead infront of the engine.

Mines a 95 without climate control and I've got nothing like that
