Re: Central Locking on main sliding door not working

Re: Heat

Sounds like you had it good Bob. If we forgot kit we had to go pick an item from the girls lost stuff bin, mind you this weather a skirt maybe has a certain appeal.🤥😉

Re: Name That Pipe

Yes the position ringed in your pic is where I've put the T piece. Be mindful of the heat in this area, metal T piece and good clips are advised.

Re: Name That Pipe

You are correct you haven't got a bleed pipe, it should have one really, the fitting in the head should have a little T off to fit a pipe, plenty like this are around, usually having a new head but it may just have been replaced after corrosion, I get round this by fitting an extra T fitting in the ...

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

Does this just happen every time the Mrs drives the bongo.
My Mrs groans and moans when I'm in the passenger seat maybe it's just that she doesn't like critism 🥴

Re: Rear lights keep popping the fuse

From memory the wiring loom for the back end goes along the driver's side panel where the grab handles are then into the rear door, is it possible you may have drilled the wires while fitting your curtains.

Try a squirt of wd wotsit into the anti roll bar bushes to chassis they can creak as the load alters during braking, also the strut top had a rubber doughnut in-between the strut top and the body I've replaced these in the past

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 .

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.
