Split pin in upper left corner, you can see just the silver "eye" of the pin.

Phoebe Freda is due her MOT soon, so I dug out the previous certificate to check the advisories as I had a worrying clunking noise happening the other day, felt like it was coming from the back end. I had a poke around but couldn't see anything obvious and exhaust looks intact and didn't wobble whe...

If that's not an excuse for a meet, I don't know what is. :wink: Yours got a name? My career as a mechanic began with this van. I wanted something I could work on easily just to get my hand in a bit with vehicles. I'd never done an oil change until this time last year. After fixing a few of the thi...

From these forums I can recall several using Vectra links, but seem to be plenty of "Bongo" link on feebay. Should be a quick & easy change over.

P-med, what year is your Bongo? And do you have any tyre clearance problems? I was looking at different sizes of tyre at work today and I think a 225/55/18 could be spot on.

:oops: Forgot about the effect on the fuel pump seals. The understanding I've got from reading other posts on here is that prolonged or heavy use of oil will "seek out weak seals" and/or harden what's there, that the replacement seals are then fine, etc. Worth doing a search for "veg...

Done several thousand miles on vegi :D Remember keep it nice & legal by recording your vegi oil purchases =D> Change fuel filter after a couple of tanks, then keep a spare handy. :wink: Had to change my fuel pump seals recently..., have changed glow plugs in the past ...but the old girl is 17 ye...

............, I love the idea that I have all I need with me, should I desire to go somewhere on a whim (you know, the 4 min warning sounds, advising that your town is going to be nuked - who you gonna call? :lol: :lol: ). But seriously, I can pretty much turn left out of work and go home, or turn ...
