Re: Advice on selling needed

It could be anywhere between £1000 and 5000, its all down to how it looks and runs, I have heard a few tails of woe recently of people buying Bongos for top money but not checking them over so if yours ...

Re: First failure on Mini(bago)
I'm not sure I would use them for electrical stuff anyway, but their brake bits were good so far as I (and more importantly the MOT tester) could tell.

Re: Low coolent alarm activated....

Re: Which is the best cooler box?
We get stuff delivered to work in these, they make excellent cheap toolboxes as the insulation is often twice as thick as a plastic cool box, they are about £2 in Florida, we i=used one for cold drinks it was excellent and 100 degrees most days http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Polystyrene-insulated-storage...

Re: Sold a rotten Bongo for £4,500 - please help.
If you want it done by a garage google Travis Autos St.Helens he is a nice honest bloke who has done work for me in the past to a high standard, but as its a business I think it would be more expensive, remember to mention Barnsley Auto panels as they sell sills etc for them

If you send me a PM I know a man who may be able to help. He is a professional welder but does work in his spare time, he restored me Land Rover from scrapper to rust free in a couple of weeks to a very high standard, I can weld so know his work is good.
He is in St.Helens
