clogger... Where do you intend to fit it!! I think the top hose is a no no. I think I may be able to get a rubber adapter that will enable it to be fitted in the hose from the header tank. I'm sure my narrowboat engine had what we called a TOPHAT fitted in the cooling system that will do the job jus...

Contacted the company in Aus, awaiting a reply. Have also ordered a inline sensor to see if it can be adapted to fit the header tank hose. Watch this space. You will be the first to know.

Just been out and had another look at the hoses on the bongo. I don't think it would be viable to fit anything in the top hose. That leaves the header tank and perhaps the hose that leaves the header tank and goes to the top of the rad. If it was possible to modify the inline sensor to fit this smal...

Done a bit of research and it seems that to be of any use the sensor must be above the level of the cylinder head to be of any use (makes sense). In the Bongo the top hose leaves the radiator and almost at once does a 90 degree turn downwards. There is not enough room to fit much in the bit of hose ...

Welcome to Bongoland Nick. Did the oil light go out quick before you started changing filters? Seems odd if it started after the first filter change. Ours goes out after a couple of seconds. Glad the clock's ticking away. If I'd known you were a club member you would have got a couple of quid knocke...

The sender unit is under the middle seat on the drivers side. Slide the seat forward and pull the carpet back. Swing the cover out of the way ( after undoing some screws and there it is. Put a new earth on and it is sure to work. (I hope)

Our fiamma Pro C takes two bikes and believe me the tailgate is up to the job, Well it ain't bent yet. The two lower brackets are close to a fold in the metal which makes it very sturdy,the spreaders which go under the nuts on the inside also seem to do the job as intended.

Sounds good to me. Give that RAC man positive feedback. One thing you didn't mention. Did he take the Radiator pressure cap off and check that rad was full?? If he did then 100% If he didn't then when new hose is fitted it should be checked. Just in case

Waiting till it rears it's ugly could be a very expensive mistake. Overheating seems to happen very quickly with often terminal results. You would only have to be distracted from your temp guage for a very few mins for overheating to strike. If in any doubt at all replace NOW.. My advice for what it...

Graham at work...How did the RAC man bleed your system so quickly?? I'm surprised an RAC man would know the ins/outs/ of our Bongos.

I f it's a cream/fawn bulb holder it is all one unit. If it's a black holder it may be all one unit or the bulb in some cases will come out. All are interchangeable and the black ones seem easy to get hold of for about £2. If you have any trouble getting one let me know. About 50% of the clocks I ge...
