Well, we had our first camping trip in the Trafic last weekend... It was brilliant!. We saw quite a few Bongo's and this did make us a little sad but I have to say the Trafic is great. Roosmith, if you haven't seen it already, check out the "Vanstyle" website (loads of awesome stuff here to smarten ...

Hi Roosmith,

Sorry for the delay in reply, it's been a bit hectic here! Anyway, we collected our new Renault Trafic last weekend and we are really pleased with it, we are now in the process of converting it into a basic camper, this will be a very simple design, we need to build a fitted shelf for ...

Hi Roosmith,

I just saw this thread and thought I would drop you a quick message, we too sadly are having to say goodbye to our Bongo, it feels like the end of an Era, quite sad really. Anyway, like you we have been looking at Vivaro/Trafic and just yesterday have put down a deposit on a lovely ...

After over 10 years of enjoying our Bongo, for various reasons we are sadly having to say Goodbye to our much loved van . it may be sentimental but we were hoping that we could keep it in the "Bongo world" so to speak, it is a very old vehicle now, high mileage and lots of rust but it may offer ...

Hi Guys,

Can anyone help with advice on freeing up a sticking brake caliper piston? I have just changed the front disks and pads and found the near side brake assembly has a one of its caliper pistons sticking. I was able to release it; with the pads removed, and then pumping the brake pedal to ...

We purchased our Bongo from Discount Trucks around 8-9 years ago, it has been wonderful and we have enjoyed many camping holidays with it. Our Bongo however is now getting rather old and We are currently thinking about replacing it, Does anyone know if Discount trucks is still in business (Seen ...

Bah! Just tried to access this factsheet and found that our password is out of date!!! Someone (Hubby) has let our membership lapse me thinks!!!

Hello Bongo Techies!
We have a problem with our interior light (middle light- long tube style bulb), we thought it was just the bulb that needed replacing but we have done this and it is still not working, please can anyone offer advice (real pain using the torch!!!) Thanks!

Thanks for all your advice, as always people on this forum are so helpful! issue is now resolved, with battery fully charged engine turned over no problem but there was indeed an issue with the sliding door (closing mechanism stuck) followed the advice of giving the door a good thump to release it ...

Cheers

I'd like to check and clean the main earth connections; can anyone advise where to find these? I think the main one comes off one of the battery leads but want to be sure I'm looking at the right thing! Wiring is not by strong point.

Thanks

Hi Techies!

A few days ago we noticed that the central locking on our Bongo appeared to have some issue; not all doors would unlock, also we noticed that the "door open" warning light kept coming on, this seemed to resolve itself but yesterday it did it again and now the Bongo will not start ...

Hubby is interested in Bongo body kit to hide rust around wheel arches etc...Any experience/suggestions on whether these are any good, where to get them and how easy they are to fit?
Cheers.

Our Bongo just came back from its MOT, we have an advisory note about a chip on the windscreen and it got me wondering...How easy is it to get a new windscreen for a Bongo? I am thinking maybe it would be worth getting this chip repaired just in case??

The piston is broken. I am hoping to buy the parts myself and get a mechanic friend of mine to do the work. I tried BongoBits with no luck but I found Madzabongo.com do the caliper for around £160. E-bay is still cheapest.
Cheers for the advice

Thanks, Is this the best company to contact? I wondered if there were others or a web site that I can contact directly as I am not really famillliar with using Ebay?
Thanks again
