Good advice. I really think its worth tapping into the enthusiam you have when you've just got it and go over it as much as possible so you know it well and can catch any issues early on.missfixit70 wrote:Low coolant alarm is dead easy to fit, hour max. Worth looking at modifying the temp gauge too (either a Mason alarm or with this cheap mod) as it's dumbed down so it doesn't scare people by moving once it's up to temp , there's a factsheet in the members area on coolant alarms & monitoring.Mountain wrote:Cheers everyone!

mikeonb4c. Nah, no alloys yet, the wheel trims just look good in the photo! I'm still on the look out for an ebay special.
"Fit a low coolant alarm if not done, for peace of mind. "
I'm a bit coolant obsessed anyway, especially with driving diesel cars for so long. Is it an easy job?
As for the T2 driving experience, pretty comfortable but more aking to sailing a small boat than driving.
The Bongo however is a really comfortable drive. Not a hint of a bad back after driving it home. Would have been 'ow me back' after that long in a car
So, sorry for the noob questions, but were id the sensor that stops the beeping when the roof's up?
I will no doubt make a meet at some point and then my life will probably change as it did in my VWCombi days
Make sure the coolant has been thoroughly flushed out & replaced as it's reasonably new on the country, the Jap spec coolant isn't compatible with the uk spec stuff, causes sludging up & acidic mix if you're not careful, worth replacing the stat while you're at it. Make sure you know what coolant is used in it so you can top up with the same stuff. Give it all a good check over especially coolant hoses etc & keep on top of maintenance as her looks bely her age That way you should enjoy many happy years of trouble free bongoing in whatever form your bongoing will take
I find the Bongo seats v. comfortable with my back BUT I find there is a pressure point on the base of my spine caused by the very back of the seat base where it is v. firm. I fitted a heated massing seat pad (cheap 2nd hand off ebay) and although the wiring to it is always playing up, even when its not working it seems the provide the perfect solution for removing the pressure point and the seat is perfect now.
