Re: Does my ABS look big in this.?
Thanks, I get the impression the Bongos may be built by the same Japanese ladies who build the motorcycles.. those with alien-like extra long fingers, super-slim double jointed wrists/hands and incredible strength.

Does my ABS look big in this.?
Dreaded ABS lights appeared nicely in time for my MOT.
Had a check of the connectors, wow aren’t they a pain to access, no joy there so took the wheels off to check and clean everything. All looked good but no joy, light still on.
Plugged in a loop in the diagnostic port and identified a fault ...

Any Bongoers out there used either, or the supplier.?

Re: Abs sensor alternative
Alternatively, without brackets but with no need to mess with any wiring, these look suitable too.

Re: Abs sensor alternative
These are significantly cheaper and come with all brackets required..

Re: Abs sensor alternative
I’m going to replace both my front ABS sensors as the warning light appeared and they’re showing as faulty on the blink test, codes 11 and 12.
Any updates on suitable replacements.?
Scanning the tinterweb I’ve seen a couple that might be useable alternatives to the Daewoo suggested.

Re: Anybody want this for spares?
Just to add..
If you have access to FaceBook (I don’t) I believe there is an active Bongo Group on there, they may be able to offer local advice, or indeed be interested in your Bongo ‘as-is’.
Good luck.

Re: Anybody want this for spares?
That is really sad to read.
Having seen your original post I’d hoped you’d found a reliable garage to get your Bongo back on the road.
First thing I’d say is, get the tyres pumped up asap.
Aside the fact sitting on them will cause damage, if you (or anyone) needs to move it they need sorting.

Re: Mot fail
Echoing the previous comments, lamps, tyres, cv boots and other ‘consumables’ are all par for the course, welding, well that really depends on what/where, most stuff is eminently fixable (and you don’t necessarily need to get all the paintwork ‘back to it’s best’ straight away, as long as it’s ...

Bongo at the TT Races
Took my annual trip over to the Isle of Man for the TT Races 🇮🇲 this time in the Bongo with two of my boys and our pushbikes in the back.
As ever, the Island and the TT Races were fab.

Re: Reversing middle row of seats on Bongo
Welcome H47.. Whereabouts are you located.?
The seat unbolting/moving is a pretty simple operation, takes me ten minutes at most.
Though the seats are quite heavy, it only needs one spanner for the four bolts then lift and spin.. (have done it alone, but it’s easier wth a friend to assist).

Re: Rear seat modification advice - one/two seater
Yes, I’ve seen posts on that, seems like a lot of work, though one of my sons is a welder..
I’m thinking either a modified Bongo seat, or a suitable alternative mounted on the existing rails/runners would be simpler.

Rear seat modification advice - one/two seater
Hello folks.
I have a ‘standard’ 8 seater pop-top, it gets used variously as a people carrier with all seats in, and as a load hauler with one or both rows removed as required.
I also used it to pick up a motorcycle which, with seats removed but sliders in place to provide anchor points, it did ...
