MOT Failure - Removing Radiator
Posted: Sat Feb 15, 2014 12:38 pm
Bongo has just failed it's MOT (first time in seven years
)
The cross member at the front is severely corroded and needs welding. To do this the garage have informed me that they will remove the radiator and bleed it.
This is making me nervous, the garage are good and I have told them about the importance of bleeding a bongo, although I am not at all mechanically minded and could not really explain to the garage why bongos are 'special'!
What do they need to know exactly?
He talked about vacuum bleeding (I think that is what he said!).
Anyone point me in the right direction for fact sheets/videos to give to the mechanic?
Thanks!
