New Bongo being checked over today

Post by notpoodle » Wed Jun 30, 2021 8:58 am

I am slightly unnerved waiting for news. Just a couple of things for them to check, ahem.

Flashing HOLD

Thanks to me replacing the speedo face, the speedo needle is now a) not moving at all and b) stopped by a piece of cocktail stick as I lost the stopper (told the garage the other half did it!)

See above - rev counter not moving at all now either

Central locking - when the people doors lock centrally, the boot lock OPENS! My 7 year old calls this 'yay Opposite's Day!'

Bouncy castle suspension \:D/

Mid section of exhaust fell off.

Handbrake moves up indefinitely

Need quote for welding Belinda's derriere, too.

Wish me luck!

Just a few things then, t'is but flesh wounds. New shock absorbers, new dash (various counter weights are missing, not just the one I broke myself), prop shaft and exhaust. Well at least Belinda herself did not cost me all that much, I'd factored in some repairs. The garage (AH Harris in Brighton, was recommended on here, we'd used them for our other Bongo in the past) sure seems to know their Bongos, which helps (as does the fact they're only a short walk away)!

This is she! Bonnet needs help (the grill, however is not peeling at all?!) and I’m on the hunt for windbreakers …
