Bongo Fury

I decided to replace the glow plugs , usual suspect chugging and smoking. For once the procedure was quite easy plugs not stuck, coppaslipped the new ones and torqued them up. Starts lovely, then i altered the idle revs of both the cold start and then the warm idle to the correct revs. Then i noticed someone had turned the tps fully anti clockwise. The van has always had a bit of a surge when changing from 1st to 2nd and i`d changed fluid,filter etc. to no avail. I was reading an old thread from alacrity where he was saying not to adjust too much so i thought i would try. My van is so different you cant feel the changes it is so smooth, so thanks once again for being a great forum.

ps i`ve probably goosed it now haven,t I probably wont start or blow-up tomorrow.

Good result Lazyb! Did she blow up?

no she is very much ok thankfully. Although I still dont know why we all enjoy driving these things even when more modern/economical cars are available, I know I`m mad but dont know what everbody elses excuse is

Good to hear you got the plugs done. (starting to think that might be the next job for Me)

to answer your question.

A cup of tea when I finished my mountain bike ride.

Somewhere comfortable to sit and and eat my cake when it's raining

Waking up watching the sun come up over the sea.

looking down on other divers, (Same drivers who look down on me when I'm driving my car)

Traveling around france and spain and been able to stop and camp when I felt tired.

Because it makes me smile.

best wishes

Add to that:

Carries eight people when needed

Keep a portaloo in the back

Gets us out of muddy steam rally sites

Gets us to work in the snow

Stilll fits in a normal car park bay

Doesn't shout, "I'm camping here" when you wild camp
