Dear Someone Techie
Our bongo of a few months old (to us - is is S reg) suffered significant overheating on Friday. It needs capable attention, and probably quite a lot of a. Does anyone know of a good local specialist. We are in N Oxford area.
thankyou

Welcome to the madhouse
There's a database of approved/recommended garages in the Member's Area
How bad was the overheat? Did you have a low-coolant alarm fitted?

Hi Canndp
Welcome but sad to have a first post from such a situation.
If you have recovery, Discount Trucks between Newbury and Andover is the South's expert on all Bongo problems. If Fred and Gerry cannot fix it no one can
They are thoroughly nice guys and total pros with overheating Bongos.
The important thing is not to drive it until the problem is sorted out. Assuming its a diesel, the engine is very vulnerable to a cracked head and needs the problem sorting ASAP.

Discount Trucks at Newbury is the closest I can think of with a good reputation for fixing thing right and first time.
Edit
Beaten to it..................

get some kind of low coolant alarm fitted pronto. Haydn Callow sells one for about £80.
We've just had our second cylinder head replacement. That cost about £2400. (for both)...
