Re: Bash Pics - Thursday

I agree with you Umbongo. I have flipped my middle bench seat round, changed the stereo, but some decals on and thats about it really - some of the guys on here, well, their Bongos look amazing They certainly do and their knowledge.... fab! Not a lot we can do with ours tho as it's 7 seats and mid ...

Great Idea :) Although, I can't help as yet, still trying to find out bongo specialists in North London who really know the vans well.

Re: So...Who's up for the 2010 big bash then?

So how do you get the bongo outline onto the material, or does the material already have it on... confused. Would love to make a bongo flat and some bunting :) Bongo bunting and flags for sale would be good Oh - I drew the bongo outline onto some paper and cut it out, then used that as a pattern to...

Re: So...Who's up for the 2010 big bash then?

Yes, we had some material left over after making some cab curtains, so I thought I'd make us a flag. The bongo outline is appliqued onto both sides so the hardest bit was making the two sides line up before sewing it all together - but I managed it despite having only a hazy recollection of school s...

Re: So...Who's up for the 2010 big bash then?

We're coming for the weekend, really getting excited now! Just a quick question - we're going straight off to Glastonbury after the Bash and have our flags all ready for that, can we put the flags up at the Bash? The pole is 5m long which sounds quite tall but isn't that bad, it just slips over a s...

It's a camper conversion, 2.5 4wd but I've got to check it again the way misfix and Hayden have suggested and then will post back the proper mileage it's getting to the tank :)

Re: 2.5 TD 4WD first time overheating

What light ?? What you need to do is... Fill the tank to the brim. That will be 60 liters in the tank (I think) Run it down to empty on the needle (200 miles) Then go and fill up to the brim. Deduct the amount you just refilled from 60. This will tell you how many liters you have in the tank when ....

Re: 2.5 TD 4WD first time overheating

Glad you got sorted, re the fuel consumtion, motorway driving could be anywhere between 25-35mpg realistically, @14 gallons if you ran it dry, equates to somewhere between 350-490 miles, but you could still have 2 gallons (@9 litres) in the tank when the gauge reads empty. Best way to get an idea o...
