Ok so its all done, one new rear heater matrix thingy, two new pipes & no more leaks and I guess I did not fry the head last week so it was not all bad then :D

On the down side they let my aircon gas out but were not equipped to re-gas it so I have had a devils own job trying to find a local who could do it. Asked Stuc and he came up trumps, getting it gassed tomorrow. (thanks mate!)

Now I need a new low coolant alarm but nothing in the Bongo shop ? Hello!

I bought one that has excellent reliability and product support, and thousands of happy Bongo customeres i believe, from here:

I've no idea about product quality of the others, but mine's given 10 years trouble free service and saved me several times :-)
