It may also just be that it has now been 6 years since I have felt what brand new tyre feels like to drive on ...

Hi all,

I have a 1997 2.5 v6 petrol engine, I've removed the timing belt covers during other work and the rubber seals in them have seen better days.

Are the seals still available and does anyone know the part number? I've looked in the parts catalogue but can't seem to find them.

Thanks,
Chris.

Re. The radiator top mounts, I'll have another look, as it does look like the radiator is sitting too low for the rubber mounts to be doing anything useful; the radiator is free to wiggle forward and back as much as it likes at the moment.

If they are OK and its bleeping, then check the rubber seal isn't stuck to the roof with age, run a card around to release it.
If that is OK then operate the Up then Down switch LOTS of times, it might ...

Yes it sounds like the motors are stalling due to being unable to raise the roof. Often its down to the rubber seal sticking to the roof, the two front corners are likely areas, there should be plastic pads attached to the roof to stop this happening but sometimes they are missing and the rubber then ...

... Now press Up the bleeping should start ??
If not then check the fuses (not likely but easy to do).

The only problem I have is...... the roof alarm will not shut up.....!!!!

The preferred method is vacuum filling, provided the rubber pipes are in good condition and won't split when the vacuum is applied and then the coolant added to fill the now empty space with minimal air left in the pipework.
Do bear in mind however that the Friendee/Freda vehicles tend to suffer ...

If someone has looked after their Bongo, they will clearly be stating it in the sale. looked after is in my opinion:

Changed all the rubber and metal pipes on the diesel engine, maybe cut the rear heater out of the cooling system.
