I had the problem when I first had the LPG.

Rota arm half fixed it and then a set of the correct plugs made it perfect.....Probably not the plug leads.

Plugs fitted are Bosch Super Plus YTTRUIM +8 FR 7 DC+

Do you mind if I ask where you bought these ?? I did find these leads online, not sure if they are the right ones for my Bongo ???

Perhaps I am buying completely the wrong ones ?

isnt the club shop closed at the mo ?? I have to get leads as mine are damaged.

so if I get a full set and a set of plugs that may sort my problem - still not sure which plugs to buy though or where to buy them.
I am right in thinking you cant just take the old ones out and put a new set in and hey presto turn the key and off you go - more like put them in turn the key and scratch the head when nothing happens !!! lol

10 min job to change them......do one at a time and you won't go wrong.....get the "proper" bongo leads....about £160 a set....my experience with aftermarket ones @ £70 was not good...
