Toddington Bongolians

A big thank you to Paul for organising our 10th anniversary meet.

Nice to see you all and we thought it was a really good turn out
considering what felt like sub zero temps (the feeling has only just returned to our feet!)

Cheers for now
Gray and Steph (THE WILDERS)

Re: Help! drivers door won't open.

Hi Lads

Many thanks for your quick replies.
Door card off - it turned out to be a linkage problem,the little white plastic clip which is cramped round the connecting rod had split apart,just needed the rod put back in position and the clip crimped closed.

Thanks again Gray

Help! drivers door won't open.

Hi there

My Daughter has a 98 2 ltr Bongo. When she puts the key in the drivers door all the internal thingees pop up, all doors open except the drivers . She is coming over tommorow expecting me to fix it - would be grateful for any ideas.

Thanx in advance

Re: Solar starter battery charger

Having measured the out put of various small solar panals anything less than a 10watt jobby will be a waste of money especially in the winter.

Re: One for the central locking techies

Thanks for all your replies.
Chris the answer to your question is no!
It does lock automatically if you unlock it and don't open a door, but seems to lock itself when the side door is opened after about 30 seconds.

Re: 2.0 or 2.5 Petrol

As the man said "each to there own"
But got to agree with Terry. Having driven all three the diesel is noisy,the v6 thirsty and the 2ltr is just fine providing you don't want to tow a tank.

Re: Charged as a campervan on EuroTunnel

As a complete novice in crossing the water. Can you just drive down to Euro tunnel and pay for the crossing there and then without booking?
And if so what would be the approx cost of this?
Also can you do it the other end on the way back?
Thanx in Advance
Gray.
