Bongo Fury

Hi...

Finally got my Bongo...(Ex Bongo Bob...Grrrrr) pressure tested.
As we thought it has a nice crack in the head...
We are obviously now looking for a complete cylinder head with all gaskets...it's a 2.5 diesel automatic by the way...

Could someone advise me where is the best and quickest place to get one from...theres some on ebay but for obvious reasons I'm keeping away from there...!!!!!

It says that this product is no longer available when I typed that link in...

Strange .. I clicked on Marks above (blue) link .. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Ranger-W ... 3a9aaeecf3

Then the Buy it now ... and for an extra £5.70 I can have one delivered within 24 hours .. (I did not hit the Paypal button though) ..

Sorry yeah...got it...!
Must have typed it wrong...

On a Forum the very long URL is condensed down to a short blue link ..

Just click directly on it .. saves typing as well .. !!

Just noticed...My Bongo is a 1996...it says on the ebay item that it's for 1998 - 2006...will it still be the right one...?

Ian does them in the Bongo Shop.

Give them a bell , they will know
Who's fitting it
There's a mobile mechanic on here that does them
Well thought of I beleave

Mine is a V6 (petrol) never had any thing to do with diesels .. so maybe an expert will be along to confirm ..

But from reading the heads are the same .. BUT .. there are slight differences between the Ford and Mazda basic designs .. meaning some parts may have to be swapped from your old head to the new ..

A proper mechanic should be able to spot / suss it out anyway ..

It's getting on a bit now so i'll give them a bell in the morning...
Got a local mechanic doing it...he seems quite knowledgeable and he been working on a friend (of a friends) Bongo for years...

That is a good idea on something like that
And then it can go back if it's wrong
Remember ours are called mazda bongo frieende ( you might want to check my spelling )

Scroll down to the bottom of the Bongo Fury shop for .. Contract Mechanics ..

Apparently very well thought of .. I dunno if he would travel to Hull .. but it gives you an idea of contents to change and a guide line price ..

And if it's a head for a ranger
It might not have the tee peace for bleeding the coolant
Use the old one ( make sure he puts the tee peace in and he knows how to bleed / vent the bongo cooling system ) make him watch the vids
Good price tho

Either order this from the club shop www.bongofury.co.uk or from www.mazdabongo.com:

Everything you need, fully warranted. You can get cheaper elsewhere, but this is the business.
