The main thing to think about after the main headline grade , 5w 30 or 40 etc diesel or petrol is whether it's a suitable oil for, in this case diesels with egr or particulate filters etc. Diesels fitted with a WORKING egr need a suitable engine oil, these oils suspend and flush the soot that the eg...

If you order from them and your luck is changing next year you may even get the same coloured spares so save the paint and faf.

Merry Christmas to all,

The down pipe is twin skin one, they split on the inner wall which makes a racket onto the outer.

The excess air is probably being expelled if the m...

I actually have the lady bird Micky take set, just need to learn to read, I can do Janet and John but that's my limit yet.

Get the gaskets and spare nuts and bolts and you should be fine.
Check that the mounting plate on the gearbox is present as some remove it.

I'm in Colne and could maybe help

May be best to delete the address, bongos go missing occasionally.

Any good garage can do a pressure test on the coolant system, the bongo runs at just below 1 bar in normal use, if there is a Leak the coolant level rises.get the expansion cap tested too as it's the blow off valve that controls the pressure the system will hold. Start basic before ripping off and r...
