Re: Roof tent

Starting issues
Hi all, I have a 1997 2.5 diesel bongo, when starting from cold she splutters a lot and quite a lot of fumes from the exhaust, if I give her a bit of a rev it settles down and ticks over smoothley, any ideas why she is sputtering, and it's only from cold. Thank you

Fly mesh on roof tent
Hi another question, the mesh around the roof tent needs to come off as it's had it, is there any special way to remove it or does need to be cut off very very carefully. Thanks.

Roof tent
Hi could anybody tell me if there is some sort of repair kit for the fly mesh around the roof canvas, mine has ripped from top to bottom on both sides or is it a sowing job for the wife. Thank you.

Split coolant pipe
Hi, just sorted fuel filter out, now I have found a split in the top hose under drivers seat, this is an easy repair but can I just connect the hose back and full up from the expansion tank. Thanks.
