Sorry, I don't, but they were just like your cushions, except extending to the seat. I didn't change the flappy seats themselves, just had cushions that rested on them. I didn't have the bench reversed so the gap may differ. I am however planning on changing the flip up seat on my side conversion, b...

I have a rear conversion and my advise is this, don't have a conversion at all, just leave her as an 8 seater as it's the most versitile set up possible, with a conversion of any type you are just robbing sleeping space, you'll do all your cooking outside as you won't want your bongo smelling like ...

I built my own rear conversion using original seat which I had professionally flattened. Makes full width bed which is about 6 feet long. Originally I had a small infill cushion, but now don't bother with it as I tend to extend the headrests to make up the gap: http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j22...

Take a 10mm spanner and a small flatblade scew driver when she's stone cold, lift the drivers seat and turn the ignition on so the dash lights illuminate but don't start her, when you turn the ignition on you'llsee the cold start mechanism activate near the fuel pump, turn the ignition off and slac...

Out of interest, how do you find making up the bed? Do you have to get out of the van to flatten out the seats into the bed? I tried a rear conversion before opting for the side one, but just couldn't get to grips with the layout.

what brand of plugs did you fit. NGKs again. The old ones were fine so it's definitely not the plugs. Could be the cold start solenoid playing up, but I was just curious regarding the state of the air filter in particular. As stated, I've never serviced cars before, but I'd expect a filter to be co...

Hi and welcome. To make the same point as windywatson but more strongly... The length of the Bongo pretty much makes this impossible. There is only about 7 feet of length available. Even if your rear conversion takes only 12" and the bed is 5'6" - 6' long, that leaves little to no room to ...

Last week I changed my glow plugs because the Bongo had symptoms that seemed the same as last time two of them were faulty, only not quite as bad. It was lumpy and smokey sometimes when starting - though not every time. I had assumed that only one glowplug was dodgy, but on testing them they all see...

Sort of... We custom built our bed at only 5'6" long for the room reason you state. Beware though - DVLA rules state a van classed as a motor home must have a 6' bed - not sure if upstairs can count. You could always have a fold up flap at the end to get around this silly rule. Dodgey (IIRC) ha...

Stunning!!! Wow!!! I hope it rains soon... just ordered a Dutch Oven (two infact) so I'm banking on fire when we go there next... :shock: :lol: Hope you had a good time while you were there - looks like Donald did! Hey Matt :) Yes I had fun too, I met up with an old school friend while Donald was u...

Nice pics. I'm getting the itch to get away in the Bongo soon and it may well be Glencoe - it certainly looks stunning in your photos. The poor Bongo is fed up being stuck in commuter traffic, needs to see some hills and I agree.

Post your location on the forum, then if anyone local to you is needing a hand to do any work on their bongo, you can pop along for some "work in progress" training. I see you have a damaged pole, slip a piece of nylon piping over it and Aryldite it, failing that I repaired my split tent ...

A truly inspirational thread Matt. To go from first oil change to all of this in a year is amazing. I hope your Bongo returns to full health very soon.

have a week off end of august. considering getting the ferry from oban then rtn via ullapool. is a week sufficient for this - any recommendations for this. if it's tight then may do the wee isles instead You can certainly get around Harris and Lewis in a week. It all depends on how much walking/sig...
