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:

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: Sound of a electric motor behind drivers seat.

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 ...
