Re: Copper sump washer not in place for forthcoming year....
I have done on an old car, and it did drip. I doubt it will come loose which is obviously the main concern, but personally (and I know not what you want to hear), I’d put a washer on it. As long as you use a very clean container with no dirt / debris to catch the oil, you can simply refill using the...

Re: Thermostat Housing flange 2.0 Torque setting
Thanks Geoff that is very helpful.
Wondering if i need to drain the entire system to do this, it says on that page to drain it but as its near the top i would assume i can just catch whatever comes out as best i can and then refill the expansion tank.

Coolant level
Had my bongo 2.0 in for a few bits and they inspected thermostat. Didn’t get chance to replace it as part didn’t arrive but thermostat housing went back on, with a bit of sealant for good measure. No Leaks there that I can see. However coolant has been very slowly (1/2mm) reducing when I use it. Cou...

Noise on startup
Had an oil change done and thermostat looked at, 2.0 petrol all done by a bongo specialist. On collecting the bongo , started it up and as I accelerated I heard a bit of what I can only describe as exhaust blowing noise, but maybe it was a belt sort of chattering. It happened 3 or 4 times, each time...

Re: Prospective purchase
I cant see any underseal either, although it has not had any advisories on the MOT for rust issues other than a general corrosion on the underside one. But nothing that points to a specific area / mounting point etc. You think £8.6k is a good price bearing in mind it needs some work to the rust patc...

Manual pop top, 2.0 petrol, converted at the side with seats that are the originals that have been cut to size to still fit. Front row is a swivel setup.

Prospective purchase
Been to see a bongo, a few pics attached. Not sure if it’s. A good one or not, appears solid underneath and no advisories for rusty bits underneath , just a general surface corrosion one. Tail gate rusted at bottom in one area and wheel arches starting to show as per pics. 100k miles, 2005 model, co...

Re: Newbie - not yet owner!
Does this canvas part of the roof look like it has ripped or is this just from where they sit for a while and get dirt on them and then when popped up they have this pattern on them?
Thanks
Thanks

Re: Miles or Km
Thank you :) Some work has been done recently on it due to failing MOT's on rear anti roll bar bushes / linkages both sides, along with wiper blades and headlamp aim not right. Remaining advisories which were not done (I believe it was MOT'd at a Mazda main dealer garage and not a Bongo specilaist),...
