Yes, i'm feeling rather fortunate.

Apparently, the van should never have passed the MOT. I think something dodgy was going on and they panicked.

I'm a fellow Bristol based Bongo newbie. Do ADS Automotives do that sort of thing?

I drove it back and then drove down the road I bought an R reg bongo. Looks to be in really good condition. I had a much better idea of what I was looking for.

Can anyone tell me if this is a leisure battery or a bongo with 2 starter batteries?

Due to the sorry state of the Bongo I bought 2 weeks ago I am getting a refund. I feel I have learnt some valuable lessons from this debacle. The van had a whole list of issues - ADS Automotives in Bristol were amazing and gave me some great advice on how to get my money back from the dodgy garage t...

Yes, thankfully they are going to refund me.

The search is back on.

Thinking of getting one fresh from Japan. Quite a bit more expensive but i'm thinking its probably worth it.

From the initial inspection, I have been told I should get my money back.

ADS seemed concerned and baffled that the tank is completely empty.

AA man thought it was strange that it has had a new water pump fitted, stating that it looks like its probably had problems recently.
Currently being towed to the garage, I'm at home feeling rather glum.

Wish me luck.

Excellent. That's one less thing to worry about. Thanks Bob.

Thank you.

This does sound like its likely to be the problem. I did think it seemed strange to place it under the van.

Ok great, fingers crossed then.

Oh, ok. I wonder what that light does then?

The first time I plugged in an iphone charger and it tripped the bollard.
Then with the site manager present, I plugged in a camping lamp.

Then someone else hooked up to it and it worked fine. Seems to definitely be an issue with the van.

Sorry posting lots of questions today.

My bongo is not a conversion, however it has two plug sockets at the rear of the van with an EHU underneath the van. Whist camping earlier this week I bought a cable for it. But, the van kept tripping the campsite bollard. Any ideas what might be wrong?

In your experience, do Bongo specialist garages accept credit card payments for repairs?
