Hi All,

I got may Bongo back last Friday. (it would have been ready sooner, but we were away on holiday last week)

All seems fine, the box is shifting up/down smoothly (as it use to do)

The garage also confirmed that the mileage looked genuine. (apparenetly they can tell when they get inside the box)

i need to take it back in 6 months or 6000 miles to get the gerabox oil changed .... which i'll definitly be doing

hopefully, i won't have any further big bongo bills!

cheers

Rob

Hi our 99 Bongo also had the gearbox go. Carvers also rebuilt ours. Had the impression they got parts from Japan. They charged about the same money and did a good job. This was in May 2008 and its not given any trouble since. Think your bongo will be fine. Trish
