Re: seat adjustment
never got the point of the adjustable steering wheel either. in its "up" position , its still too low. why would anyone want it by their ankles in the "down" position? =D> =D> =D> Dropping the column does help when cleaning the crumbs from under there though Nic! :lol:

Hi Japanese Diet: Rice and Fish English Diet: Pies, Chips, Burgers,Chips,Spam, Spam,Spam and Chips, Casseroles and Chips, Roast Dinners and Chips, Bacon'n'Eggs...etc. English people NEED to be taller to cram that lot in! Mazda Bongos therefore need less seat adjustment Cheers Helen :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yep... He bloomed the basecoat, and dry dusted the lacquer... From memory i think the capri was lavante grey. (over silver perhaps?) Even a pro bodyshop could fluff up fussy lavante grey... I think that's around the period when Ford started to give out the wrong weights to aftermarket paint manufact...

Re: seat adjustment
Belter! :D I only have a 34" inside leg, and i can only JUST get comfy in the bongo without feeling a bit squished... I call it "Snug cruising" :D I seem to recall in a past life that some bongo's drivers seats seemed to adjust more than others... I think i test drove maybe half a doz...

Re: Judder, judder stall.
Aye... The level was checked no doubt, and possibly topped up with whatever Hydraulic fluid was at hand :shock: maybe that's the problem! :shock: Jaws, i giggled at your comment about braking pressure with the drivers seat up! :lol: Nice one. My drive is on an upward slope, my handbrake is good, whe...

Re: Sound of a electric motor behind drivers seat.
Yup! I'd stick the winters on sooner rather than later Tony... Nowt worse than messing about with freezing jacks and wheelbraces when it's minus whatever outside!

Re: Judder, judder stall.
Try taking the level of the gearbox with the box "warm" Engine running, and in "D" for a true level on the dipstick.... Get a helper to hold the bongo footbrake firmly on whilst you do this, and/or chock the wheels so you don't have a runaway bongo! :shock: The pela is ideal for ...

Re: Judder, judder stall.
Hmm... maybe the fluid is past it's best, plus overfilled, plus the cold? Possibly... I'm no expert by any means. The overfilled gearbox wouldn't account for the stalling issue though... even if the box was selecting too high a gear, the torque converter would take up the slack and stop a "stal...
