Hi all,

My bongo is in pretty good condition apart from needing a lot of welding. Will be selling spares or repair. Is £1000 about right?

Thanks

Thanks Simon, ill have a read through those now!

Thanks again for the help.

Are you the Simon that works for http://www.contractmechanics.co.uk/?

Is there any cons to that method and any idea how much roughly that costs?

its possible, but ask the garage to exhaust the cheaper things first before doing the pump as it can be expensive to replace.

check the fuel filter and the banjo filter in the top of the pump.
make sure its not bad fuel, theres a lot of it about.
as said try it with the fuel cap off or loose, see ...

Hi Its a diesel, the garage have found that the seals are leaking on the fuel pump and they think that it might be those. Does that sound plausible?

Thanks

Thanks, I understand what your saying, it basically depends on the state of the vehicle, that will determine what needs to be changed.

Assuming, brakes, pipes, and so on, do not need replacing and it is just all the filters and oil change, is there a rough idea?

Thanks

Thanks Gasy, I only just seen this reply, its now in the garage for them to sort it out , so fingers crossed they'll find the issue, if not I'll be back

Thanks for help though.

Hi Guys,

I apologise if this question has been asked before (it probably has several times), I did a search but couldn't find an answer. I just want to know roughly how much I should be paying for a full service, which is changing all filters etc.?

Thanks
Leonne

Hi guys, i'm hoping someone can give me an idea of what is causing my bongo to cut out. Basically when the fuel gauge goes below 1/3 of a tank, the revs drop to the point the engine cuts out. It then takes a few turns to start again. However its not as straight forward that, as when I have been ...

How would they know what you are using the bongo for, if something happened, you could be going, doing anything??

Thanks for the pointers, I wired up the tow bar and after travelling for 90 mins yesterday to pick up my new trailer I was delighted to find that the wiring was successful .

So we're alomost ready now for our first family camping experience this weekend, It should be fun

Thanks scanner, I looked at those shrink fit tubing in halfords, but didnt get them .
its not heating the wires enough to melt the solder I dont know why this is not working.

I think this is going to be a learning curve as its not going as planned

Hi trouble at t'mill,
Thanks for the tips, what if the soldering iron does not seem to be heating the wire hot enough to melt the solder, that is what seems to be happening and maybe the soldering Iron I just got (cheap one from lidl) is not good enough to do the job.
It sais in the instruction to ...

thanks will give it a go.

Personally, I would solder all electrical connections, especially if they are going to be exposed to the elements. Remove some of the rubber coating without cutting the wire, twist the two wires together and solder the connection. The solder will pass along the wire and slightly melt the rest of ...
