It’s not unusual for the wire to break inside the insulation, caused by 'work hardening' as the door opens and closes over years.

Possibly someone has already done a repair, hence the extra wire outside the loom, and that has now failed.

Lots of Bongos sitting in the sunshine, great atmosphere.

Welcome aboard.

The problem here is the quality of job you’re getting for your money.

All I can say is it’s likely better to pay for a quality job rather than try and repair later.

Worth checking the 'Rust Directory' Fact Sheet.

Goodness Jilly, big life change.

Look forward to being introduced at Stourport.

Good to know, thanks.

'Fraid not, we're some way from there.

I can only suggest a Google search or phone call.

It will be good if you can get it to a Bongo Friendly garage, they understand the cooling system quirks.

Let’s hope you get sorted.

Have a look at these:

Really sad news for you.

There is a 'For Sale' section on here.

Welcome aboard.

Guess it depends on how you use your Bongo, do let us know how it works out.

Be great to catch up if you can make it.

Well done.

Thanks Ian.

I can only think they are fouling on something, different offset, perhaps?

Result.
