I'd get some proper axle stands before you consider going underneath Bongy. :shock: Seriously. Yes it's up on axle stands - rear axle with chocks under front wheels. I'm still thinking about what to do next. Maybe I'll try to jar it with a wooden block and a hammer, but not a lot of hammer-swinging...

Help please. My bongo wouldn't change out of 2nd gear and I fitted a new solenoid pack. I had real trouble re-attaching the valve chest - on my back on the ground and struggling with a weighty oily slippery valve chest on a scissor jack while holding the three springs in place at the same time ! Unf...

ahaaa throttle position sensor funny thing - unless I sub consciously read something about it - just not sinking in I did read that this was a gadget to change 1st with such problems #-o 6 th sense or just stupid catch up you learn something everyday :P An update on my problem (I'm the Original Pos...

Update on my original problem - Auto gearbox won't change up. After a lie down, some brain-soothing balm and a funeral - not mine - I finally changed the fuel filter, cleaned the banjo fitting and replaced the air filter while I was at it. Just driven a couple of miles. SAME PROBLEM. Gearbox changes...

Very strange But I woudnt use it Not that strange......they are now shoving the Tape Measure up the Wrong Hole/End. :oops: Yes, I'm ashamed to say. I've just posted this: Wondered why I'd chosen the name 'terminally bewildered'. You're right. Lost the plot already. Oh b****r. Will go and have a lie...

You will not believe this. I ordered a replacement fuel filter from mazdabongo on the advice of Ian M. It's just arrived in the post. I took it out of the carton next to the 'faulty' one I got from the bongofury shop earlier AND that fuel filter has SPONTANEOUSLY created the required space for the ...

I've just had a response to an email I sent to Ian. Apparently I'm not the only one with the fuel filter problem:

it looks the correct one to me simon, i wonder if the valve is faulty, can you push up the internal disc that is blocking the sensor with a screwdriver or something . Wondered about that as there's a spring 'involved'. Tried very gingerly but wouldn't give and didn't want to push my luck any furthe...

Thanks for all your posts today folks. Will keep you up to date when I have any further info.

Same as mine - you must have the wrong size fuel filter. Got a pic of that? It's the filter included in the bongfury shop filter kit for diesel bongos. Here's the filter: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ezpg1za0k9ovzbb/z%20new%20fuel%20filter%20IMG_1487.jpg?dl=0 Here's the bottom end: https://www.dropbox...

Here's a link to my photo of my fuel filter sediment trap:

How peculiar. You mean the White plastic seal/sensor to bottom of the fuel filter? Let me know if this solves your problem (when it fits) - mine is still playing up (when warm or 20mins driving). Very intermittent. In a field with the van at mo, so will check out put of the alternator asap. Yes, It...

when was the fuel filter last changed, and has the banjo filter in the top of the pump been removed and cleaned out. I don't know the answers to these. Will have a look. Thanks. Have a had a look at the air filter and that's pretty mucky in one place. Have ordered replacement plus new fuel filter o...
