Hi Trish (aka MT Tank)

Emma will want to get in the Knit & Natter, but probably the Saturday one as we'll be arriving later on Friday.
We would like a table for a stall at the Vicars Tea Party, so if you could be so kind . . . . [-o<

Looking forward to re-meeting the guys, and our littl'uns ...

We have a set of 17" five-spokes that look beautiful :D

We fitted 235 55 17 tyres, for several reasons:
a) they seem to be readily available & hence cost-effective on the new and part-worn markets
b) they raise the gearing slightly (2-3%) which makes the mileometer and speedometer more accurate ...

Hi there.

We have five-spoke plain-spoke alloys that were stated to be from a Mazda 3 - see this link

They also do a Mazda 6 ...

Yep, you're right.

This link shows the parts in the standard Mazda system:

That means that our system must be a Japanese aftermarket kit - which will be even more difficult to find spares for :(

Oh well ...

Hi Haydn
Interesting, but your Bongo looks like a later model (ours is 1997/ R-reg).
Your system sounds much more comprehensive, too!

Only the two sensors in total.
Any others?
Paul

Hi all

Our Bongo has two corner sensors, feeding an illustrated & illuminated switch on the dash, used for parking, etc.
They are rectangular, about 30mm x 15mm, with a recessed circular diaphragm in the centre (no smut here, please [-X ).

When it arrived in the UK it worked brilliantly :D ...

Hi Guys

Just got back from the Summer Camp at Hayling Island - wow, what a great time :D

The site is in a great spot - yes, the creek is just behind the Bongos in some of the pix already posted. Nearby shops friendly, the chippie on the East end of the front served enormous & tasty portions, and ...

Hello to Anna, and to Brian & Mary.

So sorry not to have made it to the most local Bongo Do ever. We are going to plead just too busy with the littl'uns :) - and other events.

Also, shame about Bongy - hope the Dr says it is not too big an operation - and hence not too expensive [-o<

We had a ...

Hi, Confused (.com?)

Been wondering the same thing :? - is it because all who can stay have already booked & paid, so no need to get more enthusiastic :?:

If so, what about the hordes of Day Trippin' Bongonauts we are expecting?

We will be havin' a larf & a good time, so see you all there =D ...

Yo, Jo :)

We met at both the '08 Bash & in Looe, so right both times =D> Hope you are well, and treating life in a suitably cavalier fashion :lol:

Yes, we have increased our number by adding Laura, now 10 weeks old, & very much like her sister. Both enjoyed this year's Bahs, & we'll all be down ...

Hi All.

We are the first on the cancellations list, & are really looking forward to getting to meet everyone again :) - especially as we had such a great time at the Bongo Bash last week :D A fabulous time again, with only a couple of brief showers :( to mar the weekend. Oh and a small mishap while ...

Ian,
We have stayed several times at this site:
http://www.southlytchettmanor.co.uk/
It is near to Poole Harbour 8) , with all it's many attractions and days out available :) , plus its well-organised & very friendly :D .

I have spoken with the proprietors, who are very keen to accomodate a ...

Hi and welcome, Justine.

I am the Windswept referred to by Brian. I have also sent you a PM.
We Bonkers Bongo types are a bit thin around here, so it would be good to chat.

Hope you manage to get the overheating sorted - Discount Trucks have a very good reputation.

Cheers,
Paul

Hi Simon.

Regarding sleeping babes:
We use an inflatable double mattress laid onto the full set of folding seats to level and give us a comfy night. We slide it as far forward as possible, which leaves a 15" slot at the rear (where the tops of the rear seat-backs lie) across the full width of the ...

Hi Al & Chris.
Good to hear the plug is out.
Have a look at this link http://www.lushprojects.com/bongopartsmk2/indexA2AJRA0Atr.html#6 , which gives schematic drawings of the various units around the engine (petrol &/or diesel) :)
Then once you have identified the damaged part, copy the link ...
