Still no joy, the garage i use changed all three belts, when i wen tto pick up the van they said oh, yer alternator is making a funny noise..?
so i get a replacement alternator, take it to my local bongo garage and they said its nothing to do with the alternator and they said they fixed it..
so i ...

The tracking was out but still it is not right,
off to the garage i think.

cant believe it, looks like they have fixed the hole already...

i suppose i can find another as there are plenty around here

If its not one thing its another lately...

besides my sticking caliper... and my water damaged alternator i have a new problem.

Went over huge pot hole doing about 45 MPH on Monday ( near side), did not think anything of it until i arrived at the next roundabout,
i turned the steering wheel as ...

Hi All,

I drove through water only 6 inches deep yesterday and this morninig when i drove to work ( and on way home)
i have a very faint whining sound cominig from front of engine, its not wheel berings as the sound can be heard when reving staionary... it get louder as i rev more, it's not very ...

The rear heater is pumping out lots of heat, the front does still blow pretty hot air out but like i said only when i set it to 28+..

so many conflicting possibilities i do not know what to do..i dont want to use up a day of my holiday if i dont have to but i dont want a melted lump under my seat ...

The gauge moved about 1 cm.. as soon as i noticed i slowed down to 65-70 and gauge went back to normal.
the back of the van was full with "holiday stuff" that must have weighed a bit as i noticed the rear was lower than usual,
now, when i took her for a service in march the chap said that my newish ...

i find it strange how the heat does come through but not until i crank it up to 28+
it used to start blowing heat at around 17, although i guess that depends on cabin temps.

i think i have aged about 10 years in the 17 months i have had my bongo..

Hello,

Just fitted a new relay that willington sent me and it still clicks ,
i have noticed that my hands free kit is wired to the stereo live so i may fit a switch
that will keep the stereo and the hands free off while the van is off

funny thing is i had no clicking for 6 months, took it to a garage for ...

All seems ok after a week or so of driving, must have been low battery

Thanks

Thanks for replies, I suppose that a low battery seems likley
i will see what its like after my 250 mile weekly commute.

Hi, Never heard this noise before but as i was away for a week i thought i would start the bongo up
as its been sitting around for a week..
any way after the van had started i could immediately hear a relay switching on and off for about 8 to 10 seconds, everytime the relay came on it would make the ...

i know, lucky for me bell hill garage is 5 mins up the road..

Ok , so i picked up the van from the garage,
starts first time now, they replaced the front and side diesel pump seals.
The old seals were brittle .

Well i am happy now, just got to cure these clicking front brakes..
