any thoughts?...seems very reasonable to me!

It's the load index~92~~Bongo needs to be on average 96 minimum & a lot of people are running on 100 load.

Yes Mike~ DBO put a post on about it quite recently so i went out & looked at mine & was chuffed it was alright ~but it's always worth mentioning again for anyone that missed it

I put one in mine last year (dark nights) the missus was struggling to get key in~it's a very limited space to get holder in~only one (of the two) courtesy cab bulbs is being used due to fitting a block of led lights in one so i wired the ignition light direct to the other & it works with the co...

How gutted are they ~a lovely family but as you say nobody hurt~i'm sure all of us (that's been) hope they get sorted as soon as possible,as you know i couldn't get this time but it's dissapointing for those that showed interest.

Don't know whether i'm reading this right but if refering to changing engine oil & need container to catch oil,i use an old washing up bowl.

Thanks Graham/Julie for organising another great meet ~this was our 3rd & they just get better

The weather was superb & so was the company we knew most people there, but was nice to see some new faces.
PS the pics so far are brilliant (as usual)

You've had some really bad luck lately Chris :( ~i reckon most people (including me) would have given up by now. Anyway,don't want to tempt fate but if it is gearbox then theres these people worth considering & they reckon theres more in stock,probably worth keeping in your watched item's. http:...

Cheers Ray thats great mate gives me some idea how much it will be costing, so can i get it re gassed anywhere? or is ther something special on the Bongo systen? cheers guys, Don't think theres anything special about the Bongo~i had a bump last November & the insurance gave me a choice of garag...

Eyup Barry ~£25 seems cheap~my local garage has a sign outside saying regassing £49 in large letters as if it's dirt cheap.

I had mine regassed just before Christmas & the difference was amazing.

HI Triple/R, Well done,what did you use to clean the filter and did you see a big difference in the filter after you cleaned it. Cheers Mal.. Eyup Mal :) ~the filter (to be fair) wasn't too bad at all~i had some petrol in a can so flushed it out with that,but didn't see a great difference but now k...

Hi Ray.... Excellent job...that's on Tony's "To-Do" list as well....(I'll let him know nearer the time)....I'll find something else to do :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: ...it's 4- 5 years since mine was done. I wonder if it's worth getting someone to braze a nut on the side, so I can add a drain...

I thought with the weather being so good i'd change my gearbox oil. I got inspiration from one of Kirsty's old post's :) With not having a pela pump (or similar) i loosened the 18~ 10mm bolts (from the sump) undoing all of them slightly,then loosened (further) half of the bolts at one end to enable...

I'm a bit slow off the mark as usual ~booked in last Thursday (with leccy) Thursday till Sunday ~this will be our third, the first 2 years it fell on my Birthday but this years (Bash) is a bit later.

Anyway if it's anything like previous years,it will be good
