Undersealing - in the South/SW or North. It’s that time come round again!

Post by Treetalk » Sun May 19, 2024 12:17 pm

Hi everyone.

I haven’t been here for a while but hoping to get going going with my bongo again this year.

It’s time for another underseal, and I was wondering whether anyone had any recommendations. My Bongo is I believe in pretty good nick, so I don’t think it would be a complex job.

I was quoted by a company in Poole over the telephone “starting from” £1500 this week😮!

Would anyone have any recommendations for places that were more reasonable? I might even be prepared to travel, make a short holiday of it, If someone recommended somewhere. I can’t do it myself as I am technically and age-wise not up to it.

Thanks,

Mary Ann

We had some 'underneath' work done by Bongo Spares not long back.

The Malthouse, close by, has letting rooms, or the bus outside goes to Halifax where there’s cheap hotels.

Good to see you back. 8)

Thanks Bob. Whereabouts in the UK is Bongo Spares? Are you saying near Halifax, Yorkshire?

Just as a side, I had mine black Waxoyled underneath with clear cavity wax.....topped up several sections over the last few years and ACF50, this year I have used Lanoshield/Lanoguard......went on really easy and looks and feels good....did the underneath, pipes, wheel arches, suspension arms, coils et al. Will see how it lasts but far easier than the Waxoyl especially without a full lift to get under it.
