Woa, that was quick. If no one from Bongo Central gets back to you, send me a pm and i'll pm you my email address so you can email the stuff to me and i'll attempt to make it into a fact sheet, with you credited as author.

Photo sizes are restricted and must not exceed dimensions of 800(w) x 600(h) pixels, or 100 kb in size.
If they're bigger than that, try re-sizing to see if it fixes the problem. :)

Did this PDF ever materialize?
Cannot find it in the factsheet area.
Looking at night heater options for the van. I have a Propex unit I was thinking of installing in place of the rear heater unit and linking into existing duct work but they can be noisy and it seems logical to run a heater on diesel rather than gas if you have a diesel motor van of course.
This heating system has a lot of upside to it.

Cheers folks.
I had a pm from a member about diesel pump seals. Been a long time since I had my fist somewhere as tight, still remember the mental scars! 8)
Had to have a browse through the posts, not a lot has changed, same old questions coming around, the search archives must be bursting :lol:
Good post about the coolant heater, I recall it being discussed a while back. There must be plenty of these Webasto Thermo Tops kicking around.
How's grumpy ol' Maynard doing?

Pleased to hear your 'box got sorted.
Haven't had a Bongo since 2010 although I still occasionally tinker on them.
I almost bought my old Bongo back last year at the motor auctions but it just exceeded my set limit. Weird seeing it again and all the little bits and bobs I'd done to it :shock:
