Beware the size of a boxed Bongo radiator, I thought they'd sent me a fence panel by mistake!

Re: DID I TELL YOU ABOUT MY DAY

Only comparable day was when garage screwed my engine up, I suspect he gave it to the apprentice to do and then sent me off knowing full well it would not even get me home..... XXXX !

Re: CUT AND SHUT

I got to thinking the other day (day dreaming :roll: ) how to get more space from a Bongo then I thought about cut and shut! taking the last section of a scrapper and welding it to yours making it a stretch version :) quite a task but I have seen it done on other vehicles with pieces put in and som...

Re: CUT AND SHUT

I am wondering if you could use down-rated progressive wound springs in the third axle. Or use 4wd Bongo with rear drive disconnected. I did a very crude cut and paste job on an Ebay image and providing you really squint it looks very sexy.. :D The ATF would still need some thought. #-o First attem...

It will take weight from the No.2 and you'll loose drive on all but smooth tarmac. :?
So is there a front wheel drive option that could be used? then you just use two trailing axles or modify a transit one

Re: COOLING SYSTEM SCHEMATIC

Club shop for your oil seals or AVA liesure/bongobits.com. As you have the V6 I'm afriad like all V6 owners it seems enevatable that leaky oil seals will rear thier ugly heads eventually.

Re: CUT AND SHUT

Well you could put a double axle in or cut out a mid section out of the donor van welding up the sliding door then slam it in between yours. Not saying it would be easy but worth a punt. trying it with two scrappers first tho'
