Bongo Fury

Hubby has had a bump in the Bongo

At first glance the front bumper on the driver side is broken and the wing pushed back slightly so the door is catching on it. We have noticed a leak from underneath but cant get a good look at it. It doesnt look like petrol.
What damage should we be worried about considering the age of the Bongo,its a1999.
Hubby is away to the garage the insurance company use but I am not sure if the are Bongo friendly.
Any advice would be welcome?

I no that mitchel ingles on south street has done them as well as motorhomes,they also I think are porche approved so good workmanship should'nt be a problem.


cheers stevie

Wing going back a little could signify that inner wing has moved back a bit but not that unussual, once the bend bits at the front come off jshould go back where it needs to be. Trying to remember where screen wash bottle is of the top of my head that could be down the back of the offside front corner and that could be burstor the impact popped a screen wash motor out. Other than that check coolant and a/c is still working and the radiator/condensor for these are not damaged.

Should be no issues with the LPG side as highly unlikley that anything has been mounted in that area.

Good luck with the garage.

Hubby just back from garage and they have never seen a bongo before
We are going to phone the insurance co. and ask if we can use one who has experience of them as we dont want any horror stories if they have to do anything technical as the leak looks like it is is coming from the area around the engine.
Thanks for your replies guys

Sorry to hear your bad news. You have had a bit of a roller coaster ride into bongo ownership! I cant help with a garage recomendation over in the west, but if you need any assistance getting parts, just ask, I'm sure there will be plenty of folks willing to help out in whatever way they can. Best of luck for a speedy fix.

all the best

Thanks David
Yip, we are certainly having fun
Unfortunately hubby is now asking "what is the alternative to a Bongo?" He thinks someone is trying to tell us they are not for us...although he realy loves driving it.
We have booked it into the dealer we bought it from on Friday so they can check for any mechanical damage and just let the insurance garage fix the bodywork. Hopefully the insurance company will agree to that when we phone on Monday . I dont see how they cant agree as the garage they told us to go to have never seen a Bongo..but you never know with insurance companies
fingers crossed
