Coolant Flow!!!
Evening all, does anyone have any idea about the coolant flow direction to the rear heater? I can see the two pipes under the drivers side sill. I also need to ask the internal diameter of the pipes?? Many thanks Duane.

Re: Tyres
I am sure everyone has different usage of their Bongo. But for typical driving/camping/festivals days out most of this is arguably done between April and end of November. The greatest issue is wet stopping I would have thought for the average user. I'll go with premium brand A rating wet tyres. If ...

Re: Tyres
I'm thinking that Until you get the tyres and have a good drive on them, you can't tell if they are going to be any good for the purpose intended. I was interested in the performance of my tyres so when I was out today in the rain I gave them a good test. Around the corners the van would have tipped...

Re: Tyres
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm????????? I wonder what cars Black Circles averaged to get 10feet? Can anyone tell be a (sensible*) car that is under 10 feet? There must be lots of them if the "average" length of a car is that short. *i.e. usable for everything, not just commuting and shopping. So...

Re: no charge and sediment light on dash
Sounds like a bad earth, have you checked for volt drop on the engine earth? Did you get to the bottom of your problem? I had a quick look at the wiring diagram and it looks like the two lights are connected by a common earth (the Alternator) You can confirm that the wiring is not at fault by disco...

Re: Tyres
The choice of snow and mud tyres was very limited from my supplier in size 215 R15. Only a couple. 195 R15 gave me loads to choice from.Bob wrote:But, as Scanner asks, why not just get the right size?
Just a thought.

Re: Tyres
Morning all. I ended up going for 4 riken cargo winter 195/70R15 105. I've done 100mile on them now and they are better than I expected. Really quiet and I'm using noticeably less fuel. The van even changes gear better and I'm using less revs when setting off. Driving on the motorway is now perfect...

Re: Tyres
Thanks for the warm welcome and the advise. Im definitely having all 4 replaced this week. Look has it that I work at a Dealership with an in house tyre depo. I'm going to order a couple of different brands in and have a look. I will keep you updated but the Avon are sounding good. Many thanks Duane.

Tyres
Morning all, Im a little new to the world of bongos. I've searched high and low before asking but I'm still none the wiser. I've been looking to get some new tyres for the Freda. I'm looking for a good 4x4 type because I use the van for launching my boat. Can anyone advise me on a good All Terrain t...
