There seem to be a lot more people trying to sell now, compared to this time last year. For an idea of price, look at the Bongos for sale here and check out the Autotrader website. They allow you to search nationwide, so you can compare prices throughout the UK, or narrow the search down locally.

Re: vague steering

Just get a good quality ATF. If it's not leaking, the ATF can deteriorate and should be changed approx every 2 years.

Re: Bongo Recall info

If your chassis number is included in the recall, Mazda UK will arrange for a local Mazda dealer to carry out the work required. (It's all in the factsheet :) ).

Re: Rear heater leaking coolant hose

I've seen bongos towed in that have had this temporary fix, so a 15ml plumbing fitting will do it but will be a bit slack, you'll have to do the jubilees tight or it'll leak under pressure.

Re: Japanese Sat Nav

Is the last image one of the bongo dockside in Japan? We've never been able to get them to work here (yet). Someone may come up with something one day.

Allans 'works van' is a 2.5 diesel Bongo; another thing that kills the fuel economy is adding heavy toys... :wink:
