I think the Bongo is upset that I’m moving it on after over 6 years of living in a warm garage. On the way back from doing the deal the front washer pump stopped working. Then a glow plug (the hard one to get at) gave up the ghost making it real grumpy starting…………….. :roll:
Spent all afternoon with it in bits sorting it, hope it is going to behave in the morning when I kiss it goodbye.And to cap it off turned the house upside down, no sign of the red reg cert just the old blue one. [-o< :lol: :wink:
To infinity and beyond

A pity. End of an era. Wish I could have adopted it - I remember inspecting the Veg Oil System on Ainsdale Beach 7 years ago. Good luck with future plans Mel :-(

Missing it already, the new motor is superb with all the toys fitted that I only have to talk to…………But………………There was a lot of me in the Bongo, I feel like a kid that has its dummy taken away……….. :lol: :lol: :lol:
