I need a head gasket fitted . Does anybody know a garage in bexley south london that can repair bongos.
I have fitted a head gasket before to a old car before, but dont know how hard it is to fit a bongo head gasket. Has any bongo owner fitted a head gasket before,and do you think it is a job I could do myself. thanks.

There's a highly recommended Bongo mechanic in South Croydon. Have a look at the recommended garages list in the members area

I think the Croydon chap is called Martin? Spoke to him once but never used him. I understand he's reccommended though. Failing that, ring AVA for a possible suggestion?

PS Mike - are you an old Croydonian as well?

I am indeed, more or less, as I spent 2yrs at Croydon Tech doing my A levels (and generally misbehaving around the area 1970-72!). I still stay with friends in Thornton Heath when down at meetings etc. in Croydon.

Are you one then? Have we had this conversation before? Am I getting senile memory loss :? :lol: :oops: 8)

I think you're right - memories of motorcycle accidents on Titsey Hill!

I grew up in New Addington but the family are all from Thornton Heath.
