Oh the irony

He makes it a condition that anybody who bids on his Bongos is required to pay a cash deposit if they win. Refuses PayPal or credit card. Refuses to give out details without this cash. Only part of the whole set up. Also something very dubious with eBay, as there is no financial evidence that the ...

I am very surprised in this day and age anyone parts with any money before seeing anything, however well protected they might feel they are on ebay/paypal, which is surprisingly little if you ever have to try going down that route.

With the adverts 'art work' and red cocktail glasses this looks the same guy .. someone on Bongo FB as bought it .. but is a 'bit worried' now to if she as made a wise decision ..

Thanks guys, they are not in on Saturday but i can at least touch base with someone about it Monday and good to know they are well regarded as it least means for whatever reason it was converted it probably wasnt bodged.

Managed to get some info, the owner was very helpful.

The work was carried out by ADS Automotive in Bristol (bongo specialist apparently), also bought from them, i cant reach them today as they are closed. The present owner was told the diff could be put back in if he wanted.

Any feedback on the ...

This is also what i am asking, what is the right way, what is the wrong way?

Thanks again, if all else ...

Some have changed when the autobox has blown up and only a 2WD box was available from a breaker at a sensible price.
