Re: LPG tanks and tow bars

so, gary bongo, did you get a tow bar fitted? I'm just catching up on the thread as We too have a bongo with LPG already fitted, we've had it for 3 years now and have really enjoyed the cost savings- particularly as we watched the prices of petrol and diesel soar. I don't know what size it is but it...

Our atf is barking like a seal as it goes up and I wondered if anyone has ever had similar and whether lubricating it helps, and if so what do you use? Our ATF also gets a little stuck s...

Re: WOODLANDS 2009

To everyone who came to the woodlands weekend, this was our first meet. We absolutely loved it! we are quite shy and probably didn't speak to enough people. However Simon and his wife were really friendly, and made us feel very welcome without putting any pressure on us to be, or do, anything. We di...

Re: Headlights power off at standstill, on when accellerating?

haven't located the switch YET but hoping there is one! the idea of not blinding people when sitting behing them in a traffic queue is nice BUT there are several downsides and here is why we want to disable it: if you are stop starting in a queue you effectively start 'flashing' your lights every ti...
