Whats wrong with my bongo?

Please help, after driving for about 10 minutes the bongo feels like its going to cut out when slowing to a stop, although never does. With the clutch in the drive position it also shudders forward and wont remain stationary when stopped. Anyone any ideas?

Sounds to me like the clutch is not fully disengaging/dragging so it is either worn or you need to bleed the air out of the clutch hydraulics(inspect the clutch slave cylinder for leaks)
or take it to a clutch garage or bongo specialist garage is required
put in your location and a local member may advise..
Hope this helps cheers Steve.

I'm confused (as usual

) - are you saying this is an automatic gearbox and you have selected the 'D' position? Or is this a manual gearbox and clutch? Sounds a bit like clutch drag if its a manual (or automatic come to that!

)

first thing is to check the oil level, to little or to much can be fatal, maybe it just needs the gearbox oil changing for some nice new stuff, it may also be worth getting the Throttle position sensor set up correctly its only a 2 minuite job,
Where are you located maybe a local bongolier could give it a look over for ya, but get it sorted soon before you do some real damage, and keep us posted.
