We Just Bought A Bongo!

[BongoBuyer]

I have a few small questions if you don't mind.

1. Is there a recommended coolant? I've noticed it's quite low and we're heading off for a little trip this weekend. Do I have to make sure its the same coolant that's already in there?

2. It was sold with a faulty fridge (fridge doesn't turn on). It's booked in with the Bongo specialists for a service next week so I can ask them to look then, but is there anything obvious I could look for as to why it isn't powering on?

3. The cupboard above the hob/sink has come loose. Since these are conversions, are they all different, or is there a specific type of screw I need to fix it back in place? I can add photos.

Thanks!

Welcome aboard!

First coolant - its a sealed pressurised system - never open the cap on top of the de-gassing tank when the engine is even remotely warm, it will boil over with the expected consequences! Often its a 5 year Red OAT coolant, but be certain before mixing different coolants as some don't play happily together!

As to the fridge, there all different as its all add-on wiring, you may have a switch in or close to the fridge and it may also have a switch on the 12 v control panel, the 12 v control panel may also allow you to switch between Leisure battery (LB) / Off / Starter battery (SB) so make sure your LB is charged and normally leave any selection switch on LB unless you have a specific reason, otherwise you may end up with a flat SB!
