Re: Price for cambelt for 2.5ltr petrol Bongo

Nothing else included with the quote I got, just the cambelt. That's a huge difference, I'm a little dubious now about the cheap one!!! Has anyone actually purchased a cambelt from these guys???

Will Thule roof bars fit my Bongo

Hello everyone,

I've just received my new ladder all the way from Japan and I'm now looking for some decent roof bars that will handle a roof box and surfboards (not necessarily at the same time). I've got a tin-top Bongo, year 2000 and I'm not really sure if I can just go out and get normal roof ...
