Re: Broken anti roll bar bracket
mines the 4.0 straight 6 makes the bongo look frugal, it is however a lot of car for £1000 and wafts nicely on the motorway.

Re: Broken anti roll bar bracket
Thanks for the replies , after the bongo next job is sort the anti roll bar links in the jeep grand cherokee.
Anyone who thinks the bongo is bad for mpg should try a jeep! 24mpg doing 65 on motorway.

Broken anti roll bar bracket
Hi,
Bongos thrown another wobbler, the drivers side anti roll bar bracket has snapped.
Could someone link where i can get a replacement, also is it worth replacing anything else whilst i'm at it like the whole anti roll bar?

Re: Overheated
Didn't note mileage.
Yes the garage recovered it on a low loader, found a split on the new bottom hose so have ordered another which is due in tomorrow.
Need to check re the fuel leak tomorrow, they haven't made any fuss re picking up/sorting out the bongo.

Re: Overheated
Thanks for the help everyone.
My worry is if the garage sort it how do i know the head hasn't warped and in no time i'll be back to square one.
What sort of checks should i expect the garage to be doing other than pressure testing?
