Re: Quarter light glass
There's an easier way of breaking in to a Bongo but I won't post it on here! The quarter light glass size is the same for all models of Bongo but the tints may be different. You should be able to obtain one from a specialist Bongo breakers but I suspect you will have to visit them as glass can not b...

Re: Parts No Longer Available
In a sign of things to come, Anti Roll Bar Drop Link Brackets for the front suspension are now being listed with Mazda as "Out Of Production". Our friends at AVA (www.mazdabongo.com) are exploring whether they can be remanufactured.

Re: More Hold Light Issues!
Looks like this is not a Bongo Friendee, it is an E2000 Bongo. Different vehicle, different fault codes. What's the chassis number?

Legendary Plymouth based specialist Bongo mechanic Allan Bugg has been in touch to tell me that he is closing his business at the end of October.
