Damp in Roof Conundrum
I have a Bongo Owner who has asked for some help...... with dampness inside his AFT on the tent area. The owner is certain that the reason for this could be due to storing a thick memory foam mattress in the roof and the roof struggling to close when said mattress was up in the roof. Now.... I've ta...

Re: Heater display bulb changing
What I also do..... is change ALL the bulbs in there while the panel is out...rather than just the suspect one.... saves hooking it all out again in a week or so when the next weak bulb goes...

Re: Bongo Fury Neweletter - Diesel Vehicles- Politics
It seems that a lot of the fear in this comes from last years Low Emission strategy from the ConDem government..... with Michael Fallon's mucky mitts all over over then it's no wonder rumour is rife. Basically the UK govt are having a strategy (fake or not) in place to appease the EU, whether they a...

Re: Bongo Fury Neweletter - Diesel Vehicles- Politics
I'd be more excited by an affordable retrofitable regenerative braking system. 2 tons of Bongo wastes a lot of energy slowing down then speeding up again. :roll: Something connected to the propshaft ought to do it. And a compressor and bottle might be an interesting alternative to electric. Coming ...

Re: Fuel filter dented - can I still drive?
Hi all, Thanks all for your help with this. So got the filter wrench today and it promptly broke so resorted to the the screwdriver through the filter technique but there was no way this would've worked without removing the filter from the completer housing - something I would've never thought of d...
