Local members and their skills

[stilldesperate]

Has the Yorks /NE group a list of members with repair skills? I've just got my second Bongo, after a couple of years without, and am happy to help others in the area with probs that I've solved on the van over this time.

I'm not a mechanic, background is electronics, but sometimes just having someone there who's done the job before can help.

Case of wanting to put a bit back into the club for all the advice I've had in the past.

Great idea Iain. I've helped local members with simple stuff (and NeilT has helped me too when in need). Its fun and makes for a sociable break from the usual routine, plus a good feeling knowing that tight budgets have been helped.

yea yea I know.....and you want him out from under your feet instead of cluttering up the house playing Guitar Hero on t'PS3 with his mates

[mrsdreamwarrior]

he would probably enjoy kite flying more. hes quite good with the bongo, electrics and anything conversion wise

[mrsdreamwarrior]

mike got mates,lol.he plays guitar hero with my lad,and yes would love him out of the house any time of day cos they are both lazy messy critters,dont know where anything goes back.lollike i said somewhere else on this forum it must be a man thing,even my back bedroom is full of bongo bits which he says keep that might come in sometime,that was 3 year ago,

I live in Keighley, so not too far away Can bleed the coolant system

.... and I thought cleaning the heater motor out with diesel in the back room was a bad move - now I know it's perfectly acceptable !!

Back to topic,if anyone wants to PM me with name, contact nr, and a few lines startin'
"I'm not a mechanic, but I can........" I'll compile a database to - maybe Ian could add it to the members section - come to think of it - there's one there already !!

(Still happy to do a Yorks/NE one if any interest)

Hi all,i only live in Barnsley so if anyone needs a conservatory fitting to there bongo looks like i'm your man

[stilldesperate]

Will it need planning permission?

[chief wiggam]

only if it's bigger than a 3x 3

[waycar8]

well never fitted a conservatory to a bongo but, ive gained a bit of self taught knolledge of haveing owned 2 bongos, the first i stripped and sold off for parts and taught myself a bit of know how and my new (ish) one has had some general repairs done by me and a garadge and a body shop , I am quite used to the "usaul" faults ect and can diagnose a few too so dont mind helping out or metting for a bit of bongo bonding

[yorkshirelass]

Well........I've been managing without a rear wiper action, and now the rear heater has packed up; any offers of help here would be much appreciated lads

Bacon butties and flapjack on offer !!!
