I have had my Alphard for two years but still like to come / contribute to Bongo sites ...

I like to think .. life is about giving ... as well as taking ..

That was me .. The dealer had removed the bulb to mask the problem but as none functioning warning lights are an MOT failure .. me and my son had to sort it out .. Mostly by luck (and a multi meter) we found it was a bad connection in the multi pin connection from the ABS valve block behind the leis...

I reckon there are people with the same auto fluid in the box .. and brake fluid in the braking system from the day there Bongo left the factory ..!!

It may not be the cause of the smell .. but the bearings in the two UJs on the steering column have been known to seize .. I used motor cycle chain lube on mine .. goes on like a penetrating oil .. which turns into a sticky clinging grease .. Also .. because decent motor bike chains have hundreds of...

Yes it's twelve months since my Bongo went up to Newcastle .. and as since been written off .. (but bet it's back on the road somewhere) ..

As I live on my own I still come on BF (and FB) as it helps fill in time ..

My heater / AC matrix honeycomb was well gobbed up with dirt /dust / debris / dead flies etc: .. I cleaned / deodorised it with Mr Muscle a paint brush and an hand held domestic steam cleaner ..

While I admit I think Forums are far 'superior' to FB with more in depth / more easily to access a knowledgeable 'data base' .. I also personally dislike some Forums (not just BF) where you need to be a paid up member, so in effect charge for certain information that in a lot of cases was freely con...

His Webb pages seems impressive .. including30 Bongos in stock ..!!

Umm .. I gifted my V6 JAL Bongo to a grandson 12 months ago .. no goodbyes .. as I still come on the Forum daily ..

Although I do not now have a Bongo, I like to contribute when ever I can .. both on BF and FB .. Living on my own and most days at home 24/7 it occupies some of my time .. Without a doubt most Forums are not as vibrant as they where a few years ago .. as I am on a couple of dozen FB groups .. every ...

Did it pass the MOT after the brake fluid change..?? Air in the hydraulic brake system is normally the cause of a spongy pedal .. but how did air enter a closed system..?? As an aside .. you can test if the brake servo is working by pressing your foot down on the foot brake while starting the engine...
