Bongo Fury

Hello,
I bought a 1996 petrol V6 Bongo mpv last November from a dealer in Middlesbrough (not a Bongo specialist). Apart from needing to replace the radiator after a blow out on the M40 in the Christmas hols, all has been well since. I've found a mechanic in Aylesbury who has worked on Bongos who has said it's in excellent condition for its age, no rust and mechanically sound. However, I am really paranoid about all the potential things that can go wrong with these vehicles and urgently need to learn some basic motor maintenance skills. I've been checking fluids regularly before and after any trips but I've realised that I have no idea about the basic structure of the car - is there a diagram of the underside showing what the different parts are? I'm sorry is this a ridiculous question but I need to start somewhere!
Many thanks in advance for any help.

There are the mechanical and parts diagrams, there not intended as teaching aids, and are translated from Japanese so leave a bot to be desired as most of the more complicated bits don't translate automatically!

Thanks very much - they'll be really useful once I've got my head round which part is which when I look underneath the bongo
Probably need a beginners guide to the internal combustion engine and all its associated bits!

could you let me have the name, address & contact for the mechanic in Aylesbury. It's where I live and need some work done that is beyond my capabilities. thanks .Chris

This is soooooo not a ridiculous question - if only a few more owners were this interested in which bit is what there would be a lot less ‘what does this switch do?’, or ‘where do I put the oil?’ queries (mainly on the fb page(s) it has to be said!)

Good luck with your new bus, and well done for actually being interested in how it works.
