At the last service, Wheelquick said it isnt worth bothering about and is connected to the cold start system and is very common. The noise disappears when the engine is revved and when the engine warms up all is quiet on tickover.
Thats you me and Alison then and no probs. Sounds like its just a Bongo foible :D

While you're next under the seat, check for soot again.

I had a stud go, had it replaced but soon after it went again because the manifold had warped & pulled the stud again.

There are several reasons why a Bongo will squeak and the most common reasons have been mentioned here, hope you sort yours soon. :)
