Re: Coolant level
How gradual do you mean? Surely few cooling systems as big and complicated as a bongo's will be absolutely 100% tight? My bongo has used perhaps a very dainty teacup of coolant per 6 months for the last 4 years.

Re: bongo came out worse from the garage
mine did exactly the same after i adjusted the handbrake, check the rear hubs when it happens
one of mine was red hot, cooled after 10 mins then did it again after a couple of miles
sounds like handbrake needs loosening a tad
