After having Bongo for five years finally decided to purchase awning.
Any advice on what is best length to get?

The lengths available seem to be 2.3mtr and 2.6mtr.

I think I would prefer 2.6 but does it project to far over passenger door?

Thankyou
Malcolm

Evening peeps- here is an update.

2nd breakdown man arrived to tow van back to my local dealership 321Away.

Thankyou for suggestions.

Just checked the fuel pump solenoid ( at least I think I did ) and heard click when I turn ign. switch on/off.
Fuel Filter was changed less than year ago.

Would glowplugs breakdown so suddenly?

Good afternoon peeps,

Up until 13.00 today my 2.5 diesel has always started on the button, but today when I tried to start her the engine just turned over with no attempt to catch.

The Breakdown man reckons its the fuel pump as he cant smell any fuel? Anyway he couldn`t do anything about it?
So ...

Thanks for that.

I have just changed the rear brake pads on the van, seemed to be a straight forward job.

I`ve just double checked my figures.

241.3 miles, filling tank to brim took 29.25 litres (not even half a tank) = 37.5 mpg.

The road was pretty flat, and I don`t reckon I overtook anything.

I did tail gate a lorrry ( not to close) for a few miles which might have helped.
