Re: Touring France

if you like birds you should visit frache-comte and jura, its by far the most diverse place i've been for bird life. Also i live down that way and it would be nice to see another bongo :lol:

Re: Tyre size and Wobble over 65mph

if it is an awd 4x4 then i would put the recommended tyre size on as you can damage your transfer box/diff , also is the wobble and actual movement wobble or is it excessive vibration?

Re: Sliding door motor issue?

If there's no motor sound at all, it would suggest its not getting power, I'd check the fuse for it first, in the fuse box it is a 15a fuse, on the bottom row of 4 fuses on the left, and if thats ok then i'd be looking into the the door itself, take off the inner panel and it could just be a connect...
