Re: towing auto bongo
Sounds like you may have to get it picked up onto a loader, or disconnect driveshaft/s, normally it'll tow a short distance in neutral.
You can't polish a turd - but you can roll it in glitter.

Have you an actual problem with your bongo bob? Or was it just a cursory query?bobngo wrote:2.5 wt auto ,in another post i mentioned that even in nuetral (spelling) i could only turn the wheel the distance of the slack in the drive chain,not 360 degrees, so how can we tow these vans ?????

Re: towing auto bongo
No worries Bob... Are you sure the handbrake hasn't seized? Just because the actual handbrake lever releases doesn't necessarily mean that the rear pads(shoes?) have released in the small drum on the rear wheels... Especially if the handbrake has been applied then condensation has led to surface rust. Do the rear wheels creak if you try to move the bongo?bobngo wrote:BDC it was just just a question out ot interest, in case i broke down.
