New to the Bongo
Posted: Wed Jan 24, 2018 5:25 pm
Hi all, we are new to Bongo ownership having bought ours just over a week ago. I've read some interesting threads on here already and learnt a bit.
Just got a couple of questions if anyone can help..
How can I tell if it's 4wd ? I'm waiting for the log book coming back and I can't tell to be honest, the seller advertised it as a 4wd but I'm it convinced. Doesn't bother me either way because the Bongo is brilliant! I have a 4w abs light?
Is the 2.5td the same engine as a Transit?
Mine is a 2.5td auto tintop in Silver, 1997 model registered in 08. I've yet to take any pictures but we are besotted with her, I say her as she has been named Bambi (Bongo meaning African Deer, well Antelope really but....) anyways I've got lots of history with her and I believe she used to live in the Lake District.
I've put a new single din stereo in today and was thinking about swapping the heater controls to where the stereo is, good idea??? I haven't done yet but it is the same din e fitting and would save leaning right across when driving etc. Next job, roof mounted DVD for the children in the back and upgrade the speakers.
I used to be a member of an MG forum having owned a number of TFs , so I am used to fiddly hard to access engine bays, little niggles and unique ownership flashing lights at other owners scenario.
Anyways, just saying 'Hi
Thanks all
Scott
