Mazda Bongo 2.5 TD pump seal

[Diplomat]

With a such a small leak a drip catcher of some sort will do the trick.

In its simplest form, a cut down drink bottle wedged just below the pump, backed up with a piece of old towel laid in the undertray.

thats what i thought about doing the pouring it back in when it fills up i gather its just ware and tear of the vehicle does your do the same?

on a different note i bought this bongo in june last year the chap who i bought it from said it was still in kilometres on the clock not miles mine reads 150000 at moment now im not sure thats accurate im not sure if he lied to me as the speedo is in mph is there anyway of knowning which it is miles or kilometres?

99 percent are km as you cannot alter it ..you could replace it

with the clock face changed to read mph

Hi,
You could check it with your sat nav/failing that travel a known mile,if it registers 1.6 on the trip it is in kilometres.

Cheers..

I collect about a wineglass full in a month. My latest drip catcher uses a polythene funnel with an extension pipe leading into a swappable bottle. Every month or so I put a clean bottle and take the collected fuel and check it visually for crud before giving it to the o/h for cooking!

(Actually, I decant it and reuse it as long as it looks clean, if not I add it to the shed painting oil)

Jaaaaacksdale to Nottingham centre is 14 miles - if your odometer shows 22.5 then it's in kms.

If you've got a sat nav then press the on button, drive along and it'll show you your speed in mph (or kph if it's set up for kph)

No such thing as a stupid question...................or is there........

[Jimbob738]

I get it now understand didnt see the link between my vehicle and a sat nav understand now ha.

Jaaaacksdale what a place! we have a co-op if anyone fancys a visit city lad turned country bunkin Grrrreat!
