Re: Erratic running pt2
Hi,you said ----- Bongo ran better than ever..... .....for a day! It would be worth while checking the filter in the fuel tank,when you blew the line back it seemed to cure your problem. The only thing wrong with blowing the line back,is you are blowing the crap back into the tank. PS you could also...

Hi,check out Lidl,they were doing one for £1.00. Will do - ta very much. Andrew Hi Andrew,if you are stuck for a tester,you can draw a small amount of coolant from your expansion tank,and put it in the freezer.It should stay liquid and not go to slush.

Re: Can you test coolant strength?
Hi Andrew, Yes you can get testers of various kinds. All are pipette type things that you suck out a little bit of coolant and either a floating gauge or the number of balls that float give you a guide to the coolant strength. Not expensive, halfords etc do them so easy and cheap to do. Regards And...
