For the past 8 years I've been insuring my van with 2gether Insurance and the price was always roughly £250-275. This year the renewal went up to £400 so I did some shopping around. Most companies quoted similar prices, but then I went to Motorhome Protect who suggested I go for a Classic policy rat...

Just on the issue of what "self-contained" means - in New Zealand vans which have water storage tanks (specifically including waste) are certified as being self-contained and are therefore allowed to be used in locations where non-self-contained vans might not be. More here: https://nzpock...

I'm looking to get my Freda undersealed and wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a garage in the London/Oxford/Birmingham area (I'm in High Wycombe). I know there was a highly recommended place in Hatfield but they seem to have gone out of business. I've also seen Before-n-After in Rugby ...

I just need 2 at the moment. £4 each would be great

Does anyone know where I can find replacement front wheel studs? I've found these at Mazdabongo.com but they seem a bit pricey: https://mazdabongo.com/product/mazda-bongo-front-wheel-stud-single-all-models-genuine/ Wondering if they are a generic part or if any other Ford/Mazda models have the same ...

I know this is a very old thread, but I was interested in what Bongos cost when new.. Looking at the two very different answers posted above, I'm wondering if the discrepancy comes from not using the correct exchange rate at the time. The current exchange rate today is about 160 Yen to the Pound, bu...

Simon was going to write it in 2008, I'm not sure he did. :) But if you look at his posts on this search, you'll see he mentions several things that will help you. https://igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/search.php?st=0&sk=t&sd=d&sr=posts&keywords=Cruise&author_id=936 Thanks very mu...

Went ahead and ordered the AP60 from Australia via eBay. Going to install it this week - does anyone have a copy of Simon's installation guide? I can't find it anywhere on the members area.

Many thanks!

Does anyone know where I can get hold of a cruise control system compatible with the Bongo? The MS 50 and AP 60 seem to be available only from Germany/Australia for up to £500! Apollo Motorhomes have the MS 50 for £149 but every time I try and buy it the website comes up with an error: https://www....

Hi all, a while back I was really struggling to find a reasonably priced front caliper for my Freda. Eventually found this place who were very helpful and very good on price. They also stock caliper service kits, pistons, etc. plus discs and pads:

Just spotted this Bongo for sale claiming to be ULEZ exempt: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/619391102474788/?ref=facebook_story_share I checked the reg on the TfL ULEZ checker and it is indeed exempt. Most likely some sort of clerical error - the seller says it was automatically exempt wh...

Many thanks for the recommendations

Hi there, I've been putting off the inevitable for a few years now and I'm looking for somewhere who can do a professional job of repairing my rear wheel arches and sills. It's the usual issue of both inner and outer arches needing attention, and having been bodged with filler in the past (before I ...

Hi all, my Freda battery died and I wasn't able to get hold of an exact replacement - however I have got a very good Yuasa 096 80Ah battery which fits nicely in the tray. However, as it is not as tall as the original battery, the metal battery clamps dont fit properly. I've used some wood as a space...
