Re: Slight groaning sound driver side front, last 3m under braking ?

My first check would be the brake pads and discs are not contaminated and packing shims behind the pads, have the pads got a leading edge on the rotation facing edge?. Have the shims got lubricant between them and the brake pad?. Are the pad retaining springs/clips present. Has the wheel been put on...

Re: Coolant leak; parts guidance

Is the pipe that goes to steel then the bottom of the turbo.
Looking at the pipe that goes from just under the bleed pipe, ( top left in pic 1) to the turbo, that looks a bit suspect as it's discoloured .

Thanks for asking Geoff, doing good, ready to get back on it but my companies insurance company don't seem to share my keenness, I suppose it's only right that they are cautious driving what I drive, but trying to get a fit to work note from god would be easier than trying to get one from hospital o...

Re: Get Well Soon Northern Bongolow!

Thanks everyone, it was a bit twitchy, but not as bad as the carrot soup.(actually really nice).
Had a new top hose fitted, and a good old bleed, should be home tomorrow.
Thanks for your kind thoughts, see you at stourport if lightening doesn't strike twice.

Re: Coolant Change Petrol (2L)

Not familiar with the 2 ltr but I would imagine there would be a removable bolt to bleed the system, usually fitted at a high point on a rad pipe or thermostat housing etc.

Re: Manchester low emission zone

I'm waiting for the 1st good lecky conversion to retro fit, thinking of mating one to an old milk float as a stop gap. It may take 3 days to get to stourport but when/ if I get there I won't need hook up.🤭

Re: Rough start but then no problem at all

When you say throttle open I take it you mean you push the throttle pedal full down?. When starting a diesel bongo you should not touch the throttle, it should all be done automatically, the ECU adjust the fuel pump and engages the cold start solenoids etc. If it doesn't like starting this way as bo...

Re: Merry Christmas

Cannot wait to get back to eating off a dirty camping plate, or straight from the cookin pan, drinking from anyone's or everyone's glass when we've had a few. Sanitizing and safe space has it's place but it doesn't work when your trying to get someone into their bongo when they cannot do it themselv...

Re: Mystery gearbox fault

To be honest it sounds good to me, revs and performance sounds about right and as expected. It's possible the throttle position sensor is occasionally not getting the message, what age is the bongo. Early ones had tps on top of pump, later ones had it on pedal. The manual shows you how to test and a...
