Hello all,
Have a problem with overheating, local mechanic has had a look and says probably head gasket. Having read techie stuff on t'interweb, it could apparently be that the cylinder head is cracked. I would like to get Bungle to a Bongo wizard so they can have a look, pressure test and see what the damage is. The problem I have is that there don't appear to be any Bongo service places around here (Leiston, Suffolk) and I can't drive it anywhere.
Does anyone know of a Bongo friendly garage in this area or know of one relatively close who could collect it?
Many thanks.
Head gasket, overheating.

Re: Head gasket, overheating.
i think there is an importer around there somewhere, he has a good reputation, maybe he could help.
maybe do a search on the net for bongo retailers.
i was thinking of these peeps, but they are norfolk.

Thanks for that, we bought it from Andy's and they are good people to deal with, I'll give them a ring.
Cheers.
