Nothing obvious in messages about closing but last post says they updated background picture;
Doctor-bongo updated their profile picture on 23rd ...

Yes that often seems to be the case, the mechanism gets out of sequence and instant problems. In my case a hard slam forced closure has usually reset the mechanism, the one time it didn't (only happened 2-3 times) a poke around inside with a screwdriver seemed to reset it.

Noted!

The rear latch as I recall is driven by a cable from the rotating discs which you will see when you remove the door cover and plastic sheet see here https://lushprojects.com/bongopartsmk2/code=7230A&cat=a2ajra0a&vin=&imgno=.html just what has failed needs to be seen, often the little plastic ...

Worth having a search relating to Imports and the SVA testing needed maybe also for importers as there are some catches when doing it yourself you may need to be aware of! https://igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/search.php?keywords=importing+SVA&terms=all&author=&sc=1&sf=firstpost&sr=posts&sk=t&sd=d&st ...

Have you seen any new imports listed for sale? The numbers have reduced a lot in the last few years, as they are getting quite rare I believe even in Japan! Also be certain that they are "new" imports and not one imported and already run for several years over here, in which case you may find that ...

Have you tried a plastic scouring pad on both sets of contacts door frame and door itself?

Most of the time

Its always possible, but with out using a meter to check the state of the contacts and any resistance its not possible to give you a positive yes/no, but its a possibility. Are you certain that the Leisure battery is in a good condition and supplying greater than 12v when static, have you tried ...

You mention you were on a trip and slow working, maybe your leisure battery is/was flat? This has the same effect leaving the door only partially closed and slow to operate. Otherwise clean the contacts on the leading edge of the door and the frame, but be aware that at least one pin will be live so ...

Happy New year Haydn! Nice to hear your still looking in, its quite a bit quieter these days with FB taking a lot of the traffic away full of repeat questions of course!

If the bottom hose didn't get warm then thermostat didn't open up! Not sure what temperature your working in but down here it has been sub-zero all day so it might need a lot more time than 90 minutes to get sufficiently hot to open the thermostat. Assuming your thermostat has been working correctly ...

The other thing to bear in mind is that it can be a mixture of everything that has dripped from the engine since it left the factory as it has a "foam" layer to hold drips! I have taken the undercover off mine and hosed it down with detergents in the past but finding a suitable bit of waste land to ...

You probably have the undercover on, this has an escape hole in that position so the fluid can becoming from anywhere under the engine bay but only leaks out in that position to fall on the floor! You need to sample the fluid that has appeared for colour and texture and then compare with the engine ...

You will loose quite a bit everything above the level of the thermostat basically.
