Re: Disaster! Very ill Bongo - 2 litre

Well - it is fixed! Got it towed to Wheelquick this morning, cambelt had snapped (although had only done 10,000 miles on it) and it was fixed within the hour with a new one on, and an oil change to boot! Just sorry we didn't get it towed there first off as we had to pay for the second journey. But ...

Re: Bring Me a Bongo

If it helps, we looked at Bringmeabongo as they are not too far from us and were very impressed with the quality of the units, well made and all fitted very well etc. We decided in the end to buy an unconverted to see how it went, and we have stayed that way as that is what suits us.
