That's good news Alan. What was the solution to the problem in the end?

Maybe she'll fall back in love with it after a bit of reliable running - was the trouble caused by human error when tinkering with the mechanics maybe? Any car can have problems but my Bongo has been by far the most reliable car I've ever had. Ditto for usefulness. You don't want the missus to jump out of the frying pan and end up in the fire!

V pleased it's fixed anyway :-)
