Hi R reg Bongo (diesel) 2 tone white and silver... Bristol/South Gloucestershire

Just bought it. It's going to be my everyday van. Planning lots of trips around the SW over the year and maybe a trip to Scotland during half term.

Silver Friendee, 1995, bought a couple of months back and already camped 6 times and several day trips to the beach; loving it. Based in Midsomer Norton, Bath.

Hi all,

Have recently become a Bongo owner (well, Freda!) in Bath.

AFT 2.5 V6. Fairly high mileage but low rust levels! Although do need to get one of the wheel arches seen to.

Looking forward to getting out and about!

Hello All,
I noticed the last recorded newbie in the South West area was 2019, probs pre-covid!

I must be the first newbie to the group in 2022! :D
P760 AHW, white auto top, Freda.
I've had my bongo(Freda) for 4/5 years. I'm based in Bath, but also out and about around Peasedown/Radstock
area. I love escaping to the coast when possible, with my daughter. At the moment, I'm trying to find an auto-electrician to sort my bongo, all the interior electrics have gone haywire since having the plugs changed and being sat for tooooo long during covid. Any recommendations welcome.

Cheers! Hope to catch up with some of you soon. :)

Hi

Are we talking spark plugs or glow plugs?

Hello, I’m based in Weston-super-Mare, got a white Aero Pop Top and I previously had a black P reg with constant cooling problems (thanks for the advice on the post ‘Bleeding Nightmare’). Eventually the crank cracked which was pretty much the one thing I couldn’t fix outside my house so I sold as non runner, cashed in some savings and got a fancy modern one. Me and Mrs Wilson go on most holidays in Minty (and Billy before, god rest his soul) and are planning going to the real Glastonbury Festival in September.

I’ve just resurrected my account and can’t work out how to post a new topic as since 2019 I’ve been able to sort everything by searching posts up to now (fantastic resource everybody, thank you) Any help or pointers gratefully received.
