Re: Bolts...

Cheers for the heads up.
I went to the Ford/Mazda garage to no avail. I have managed to get 2 bolts in securely on each side & the front 2, not sure how much bite that have on the thread though?? Good shout Northern Bongolow, I live in Skipton & had forgotten about Merrits!!

Regards :0)

Bolts...

Hi.
Does anyone know where to get the bolts to attach a bull bar from? The ones that are already there are not long enough & need to be approx 20mm longer. I went to Ford/Mazda & they told me as it was an import they didn't have the bolts needed!

Regards
Andy.

Re: Another "clunk" question!

I'll have a look again at the usual & double check everything, I'm hoping it is something simple. It is the 2 wheel drive, not 4.
I did put 215's on in place of 195'2 but it seems free from any infringement & it only happens once when I turn in that direction, not every time, & then just the first ...

Another "clunk" question!

Just had 4 new tyres put on today but as I got a mile or 2 down the road I noticed a "clunk noise as I turned a corner. It seems to be as if something is moving because if I repeatedly turn one way it only does in on the first turn, & again if I turn the other way it only does it the once. Any ideas ...

Re: Cam belt V6

Thanks Kirsty.
I have been quoted for the work by my usual mechanic. He had a bongo in last week when I phoned him & was doing the cam belt on it then. I didn't ask him if it was a diesel though. I'll have to ring him in the morning to let him know it's a V6, so that's why I was asking if it was the ...

Re: Bright idea needed

Do you have any friends who fit windows?
They use suction pads to hold the windows as the lift them, just a thought.

Re: Cam belt V6

The lad I bought it from had phoned them & they told him that a sticker would have been placed with mileage on it at which it was done.
I did think that they would have changed it as they serviced it before they sold it but unfortunately there seems to be no proof of this.

Cam belt V6

Hi again folks. Well I took the plunge & went for a V6 over the diesel.
I was wanting to get the cam belt changed as even though the camper was initially bought from Manchester campers, there is no sticker or proof that the cam belt has been changed.
My Q is, are they easy to get hold of? I've seen ...
