Thanks for the advice, I get the feeling that it will be a reconditioned engine, and I will get a coolant alarm. I can't be without my bongo.

My Bongo died on the motorway in France. Suddenly no power and a large cloud of white smoke out of the back for a few minutes. It has now been repatriated to a garage in the UK. I had assumed Head Gasket etc. They called me to say that they feel it needs a replacement engine as the heat with no flui...

Just went with the Green Insurance Company. I wanted european cover. £99.00 (beats the big boys by between 60 and £160) UK cover was £59.00. For £19.95 I get personal cover so I can cancel my other car cover. An extra £9.95 got me Key cover. Having lost my key for the first time in 25 years maybe it...

The front washer pump Front Windscreen Washer Pump Ford Fairlane 76-03 fits and works a treat. What pump will fit the rear washer bit. I am sure this front one could be manipulated to fit, but to save the hassle of rewiring etc is there one that will fit to replace the rear pump. At least I will get...

Are you sure that they are on different fuses. I makes sense to have the washer pump and the wiper on the same fuse. I am sure I read somewhere that that is the case. If it isn't can some one tell me which fuses before I take the bongo to bits again. I am just about to send off for a pump that will ...

Is it possible to test the pump in an easy way. I have removed the washer bottle and pumps attached. Blowing through the washer pipes they all appear clear. There was gunk in the bottle coming out of the removed bottle via the pumps so I washed the bottle out and put cleaned the connections to the p...

I took the brave step and decided to take the steering wheel off. After a long seach it recommended in places to disconnect the battery. A good idea so the Air Bag doesn't go off in my face. I took the rubber bungs off, but for the life of me could not get the 4 bolts from the underside of the wheel...

That will be my next mission. I will try on Saturday. Lets hope it does not rain too much. I need to get it done before its MOT runs out on Wednesday. Being colour blind might make it inteeresting, but the Mrs will help with that bit. I am almos hoping I need to attack the steering wheel now there a...

I have managed to get the grill and drivers side lights off and find the Horn. (well impressed with my self) Then I connected a wire from the horn to the +ve terminal and it worked. Yippeeee!!!. The horn works, but WHY DOES IT NOT WORK!!! I cannot open the bonnet and take the grill and lights off ev...

How do I get to the horn to change it. Do I have to remove the headlight? Or is that going to be difficult. To check it is the horn can I just wire up a lead from the +ve terminal of the battery and touch the lead on the horn as the chassis should presumeably be earth. Or do I need to run a second w...

Thank you for the expert advice. Hopefully I will be able to sort things out.

You must have a trendy Bongy, Mine is just ASDA Basic.

Thanks for that, I have found a horn. It was tucked up out of sightabove the bumper height.I can only see on and the wire looks fine. Now it is dark it ssems easier to sse as I need a torch, but boy was it tucked awy. To test it do I presume one end is earth so I just need to find a wire to run from...

Hi, My Horn died a week or so ago and is due for its NOT. Sods law. It initially made a clicking noise so probably the relay switch (or so I gather from other posts). I have checked the fuse and swithched the relay swithches around with no luck. I don't know how easy it is to check or change the wir...

Better still, spend £20 & have a spare pair http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-QUICK-FITTING-SNOW-CHAINS-FOR-MAZDA-BONGO_W0QQitemZ190354850006QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item2c520880d6 Is it snowing yet then in Pudsey? Is it better to go for the 9mm or 12mm chains. What are...
