Re: Air suspension...

Mine was a kit with two airbags, control panel, twin compressor all pies fitting etc and all the brackets to fit. I would ask them if they make a kit if not you could just but the bags etc and make your own brackets? My kit looks like this with different brackets http://www.timpro.si/product_info.ph...

Re: Chinese diesel night heaters

I fitted one to our Motor Home about 2 years ago, Cant fault it.
Read the instructions as the faulty ones I have seen are people who install them incorrectly.
Join the Chinese diesel heater group on Face Book.
For what they cost carry a spare heater plug and the tool to change it

Re: Bongo at the garage with a broken camshaft :'(

From memory the ranger cylinder head just has some water connections that are different, just be certain he knows how to bleed the coolant after as its not a straight forward job
Best to get it repaired

Re: Interior light question

Its a simple job to remove the U shaped bulb and fit a panel LED like this, from memory I added 2 in my light.
