Someone else was asking about this on another thread today. I've done my disc pads (never done any disc pads before hte Bongo) and was suyrpirsed you easy and quick it was). The discs themselves might be trickier (tight bolts etc.) - maybe someone else can advise (I can't recall it being on a BF thread before) or is there a factsheet. Failing that, you can download bits of the workshop manual from somewhere I think

How true. The problem with the factsheet page is that looking at it means digging out the latest members password, which I (and I suspect others) don't have readily to hand, then going looking for something that may not exist (I'm v pleased to hear there is one about removing discs by the way - the collection gets ever more impressive, must spend a session familiarising myself). Hey ho! 8)

Nowt on discs unfortunately, but I don't think there's too much to changing them.
Regards the password, when you get the monthly update with the new password, go & log into members area & tick the remember password box, job done for the next month :D . Not so easy of course if you're using different computers :roll:

D'ya know, I honestly didn't know that. Can't recall (anything really) seeing the tickbox option. I'll nip off now and try it. At work, I'm stuffed as all those option are disabled :(
