Never heard of that
only ever heard of shot wheel base and long wheel base which are the lengths of the vehical and so can't be changed without an angle grinder and welder.
any pics?????


best just keep it in drive

Only ever heard of short wheel base and long wheel base as well - certainly doesn't apply to a Bongo. Sounds like you have a non-standard gear lever.
If you put your location in your profile, local help may be available :D

Def sounds after-market...unless it's an optional extra, for when you want it to convert to stretched bongo... :wink:

Yep - usually 3 of them presenting it, a tall stunt, a short stunt and one who has never been for a haircut.

I'm guessing you missed the middle 5 letters out deliberately.

Do you mean S2 & L1? to be honest I wouldn't worry about them unless you're going to be towing, just stick it in D & go.

Get a hold of the owners manual (not the workshop manual!) from the Bongo shop - it explains all.
