Checked today and hole in scuttle panel is clear,i blew it out with an airline and nothing was stuck.cant see any drips inside but will have a closer inspection.The water is in drivers side but in middle so i suspect not coming from outside.It does feel greasy when on hands and i think does smell of...

Hi i have a similar problem but only when i put the heater control onto feet and only when warmed up but the heater is blowing warm but there is a cold draft around left knee area?Thought i was just being paranoid as i have only had Bongo about a month.

No problems with my 4wd shuddering but it does go quite tight and would not freewheel if it is on full lock.

Hi i am a painter turned estimator now working at a college traning people to pass their vehicle damage assessing exam.I think the first prices were a bit steep but the last one seems ok only if he is any good.Depending on his labour rate(bodyshop average £30-£35 per hour)you are looking at about 40...
