Re: Callow Top (Ashbourne) 15th/16th October 1/2 price

Hi Ray Just getting our act together having been on the continent for all of July and August. We think we should have another outing and are wondering if you are still meeting at Callow Top and if you think there may be places left. Know we've left it a bit late in the day and that the 'official' me...

Re: 12 volt ciggie lighter and mirror electrics not working

Mirrors and cigar lighter are on the same fuse. Just change it. Diagram available in the members area. Worth printing and keeping in the Bongo.

Re: Summer Trip 2010 part 1

I think that details so far of the first week are here. Not sure because I have't done this before.
, and the instructions are in Norwegian.

Re: quick answer on tyre pressures

I'm running on 40psi front and 45psi rear. Got a rear conversion, pretty solid. Talked to my local tyre supplier as I thought 33000 miles should mean tyres due for a change and we are due for a 3000 mile continental trip. He said that no need to change yet maybe in another 5000 miles. Can I get 4000...

Re: Air con leaking

Thanks for the info, and the offer Mike. I just wanted to see if anyone could identify a particular weakness. I'm very satisfied with BCI in Melton who reported this when servicing earlier in the week. I've booked it in on June 8th for a full investigation at the same time as they are going to waxoi...

Air con leaking

Tried to have the aircon refilled yesterday but the garage test showed that the system is leaking.
I looked at lots of aircon posts but cannot find anything that might help. Anyone got any suggestions about what to look for?

Re: Scottish Bongo Bash 2010

Great meeting. Brilliant campsite - well done Ian =D> =D> =D> . Pity the Bongos were so spread apart that we did not get to meet as many as we would have liked, but it was really good to talk to some folk who we had only known by their forum name :D :D . Now we are home we have stiff faces from the ...

Interesting! I'm running on Goodyear GT2 and am going to change them after the Scottish Bash by which time they will have done 33,000 miles. Not bad I think. Will Kumho do any better?

Re: waxoyl

Be a bit careful. If it has been driven at all in Uk during the winter without underseal and waxoil the damage could already have been done. Take the advice given on this thread.

Re: Bongo aware mobile Auto electrician?

Just picked up your problem. It would be worth giving Pete Geeson 07810 203 500 a call on the phone. He has done servicing and coolant change for me. Lives in Melton and works out of Lower Broughton. As he works for himself it may be that he would be prepared to come to you if all else fails.

Re: 2010 "Southern Softies"

Just got back. Great meeting - thanks Ian. Good to talk to lots of people. We really appreciate meeting folks after some months and just continuing as we were before - what a stress free friendly way to spend a weekend. Don't understand how some peeps can get pickies on so quickly :shock:. I've got ...
