Service and general check up advice

Post by Gump » Sun Oct 16, 2011 8:38 pm

I recently purchased our bongo as an import, can someone recommend what I should get checked out, does it need a full service and oil change ETC, is it worth getting wax oiled?

Also any good bongo specialists in the south west, im in Gloucestershire, obviously the nearer the better!

Thanks

Dave at Worcester Mobile Mechanics, Shrub Hill Station, Worcester is also very good if you can get him.

Like all good peeps he's busy.
Take a torch, toilet roll, and tea bags.
