If you have a side conversion, it is often easier to remove the seat altogether to get better access. 1) Slide seat back & remove front 2 bolts (can be very tight) 2) Slide seat forward & remove back 2 bolts 3) Remove bolt that holds the seat belt sliding mechanism 4) Lift seat out & th...

Its a 1998 Frendee

Following on from the advice here, I purchased new glow plugs. tried to install them but fell at the first fence as I could not remove the front seat :oops: Removed the 2 bolts at the front and for some reason thought the seat just tipped back (hinged) could not find the other fixing :?: Anyone want...

I have just come across a guy on preloved selling biodiesel from veggie oil at £1 per ltr, Is that legal?

Well I have a small LED lump next to empty which looks like a warning light, but then again you could be right as i have never run it down that low. As i said get to 450 and start looking...

Not having long had my Bongo I can say that I have been monitoring the fuel guage with interest. I can confirm that 450 kilometers is reasonably accurate. Push it beyond that and I think you will enter the scary zone? I am unsure what fuel is in reserve once the light goes on but at that stage my co...

Guys

I am no mechanic but this kind of thing often happens when the engine oil is overfilled? causing back pressure.. just a thought

Can't believe how cheap these injectors are. Last year I had to replace all on my TD5 and were £350 each! I am stunned.. Owning a Bongo just got better.

I agree the gearing will make no diference, I was only stating the model because as sure as god made little apples if I hadn't someone would have asked 'what model is it mate' I have read these forums for a while now and am learing! Well I have taken the advice from the suggestions made here and rea...

Thanks, I will get to work and report back on the success or failure whichever it turns out to be.

Any ideas guys? Mine is a manual diesel model which runs like a dream when hot. However when I start up in the morning it seems to fire on 3 and has a splutter. This only lasts around 10 miunutes on idle but if I rev a little it goes away. I am thinking I may have an injector off or an iffy injector...

Guys With Diesel heading steeply for £7 a gallon, veggie oil has to be the way forward at around £1 litre? (free from a chippy) I am seriously thinking about a professional conversion job @ £1200 as over time your investment will be returned. If I had done this with my Landy last year I would still ...

Waste is a dirty business mate! Very lucrative if you know what you are doing.

Thanks Ian If neighbours would put as much effort into being friendly and neighbourly as they do being nosey and spiteful, we would all be a little less stressed. I am a licensed waste carrier by chance and have consignment notice forms so it is not a problem for me. My point was getting people to h...

Hi Guys I have been reading all the other threads on this subject and noticed the last comment was last year. I am now convinced more than ever that I want to convert or start using veggie oil in the Bongy. I have been a Landrover enthusiast for many years and have some experienced with this. For in...
