Re: So is it time to discuss the effects of Ethanol on Bongo's?

Re: Passenger side door latch
58-302 is the screw that holds the locking mechanism in place, if you unscrew that then the motor and lock itself will come out of the door once you have released the wire links to the handle and locking button full details of the mechanism here http://www.lushprojects.com/bongopartsmk2/code=5830A&c...

Re: Bongo Virgin!
It would also seem that the supplies of LPG are drying up, we looked at it when we first got our V6 back in 2008 and even then we decided that finding filling stations when touring would be a pain so never bothered. There are very few filling stations in Sussex as well so for local use it seemed lik...

Re: Rear Inner Arch replacements
I was under the impression that the inner arches were fabricated in-situ, as opposed to bought and welded in!

after that you need to choose which area of the forum you want to use by clicking the "Forums" button also top left;
