i bet you turn the indicators on/off and the wipers on/off more frequently with the flat wheel on eh. :wink: Good morning NB I haven't really noticed to be honest but I can see how it would happen! I have a spacer for the back of it so I was going to fit that either way as I feel my arms aren't lon...

Hello Mike and thanks for trying to remember the breakers name . To be honest I'm based in the west of Ireland so by the time the wheels were shipped over they'd cost a small fortune! Having said that your wheels look completely fab on yours :D I'm really encouraged by what you are saying about the ...

I've just had a look at your wheels Mike and they look the BUSINESS ! And your right that style really suits the bongo . I've been considering rx8 wheels for mine at some time but she is a 4WD and it seems that they can cause problems with the front diff and I assume transfer box :( I think they com...

Thanks for the reply bongolia,I knew you wouldn't let me down ! :D I'm planning to do this project one of the evenings this week along with adding the locus stop leak and fitting new inner and outer tie rods followed by a full alignment, it will be like a new bus :mrgreen: You will all think I'm sad...

Hello all I'm making slow progress on this project and am hoping to get the Norma constant tension hose clamps from Hydn callow's company low coolant alarms , I've already got the tm2 from them :wink: \:D/ I've got 10 no. 32-50 mm from them for the large hoses but does anyone know how many of the 20...

Thanks for the reply Mike . Your correct in that there is little to be lost by doing it I'm gussing ,I'm really just interested on peoples views on the product . As for the bleeding I'm assuming to loosen /crack off the lowest point on the system ,the rack ? and turn the steering wheel left and righ...

Hello everyone and sorry for not checking in for a few days . I did a big days work today including fitting two new front anti roll bar D bushes , two new lower wish bones and changing the oil in the front diff . :D I looked again at the prop shafts and while I'm NO expert there was little play in t...

Hello all and thanks for posting those last few bongoila and NB . =D> I've taken inspiration from the posts and have changed the oil this evening ! What came out was very black and very little , about 300ml :shock: . I filled it up with approximately 1400/1500 ml so that bit is ok wheather it has do...

the bongo is firstly rear wheel drive, then as the rear slip is detected power is fed to the front prop via the viscus coupling, if you remove the rear prop the viscus coupling would be permanently locked up and giving drive to the front, it is a series of plates like clutches that run in oil, when...

Both are dampers, funnily enough I dont seem to have the box one on Wasp? Is the wasp 4 wd as mine is ? Having too much time on my hands I was wondering as its 4wd could I remove the prop feeding the rear axle and drive the bus , if ,when I left off the noise had gone then it must be the prop shaft...

And this is the one from the rear axle http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t248/bodonaill/Mobile%20Uploads/2017-02/D10CEDD5-6E3B-476C-91C9-CA03610FCF57_zpskmckbcfx.jpg Both move but the gearbox one is easier to move than the axle one , does this make any sense to anybody I still plan to have a proper...

Good morning everyone
This is the gearbox rubber block that I was talking about

Good evening everyone and thank you Rita for the reply . I looked under the bus today again and there are two " harmonic balancers " one on the rear of the gearbox and on the front of the rear axle . Both are really a block of rubber bonded to a heavy gauge steel frame and I assume are des...

Good evening all and thanks for the replies I've looked at all the points you suggested northern bonglow but could find nothing obvious :( A friend and I spent all day under the bus cleaning off old under seal in preparation for a new coat tomorrow Very dirty but really satisfying ! http://i162.phot...
