Bongo Fury

Long story but anyone come across this ? Apparently according to mechanic only been seen before once ( they are Bongo specialists) and it was a cracked cat - but they tried that on mine and it's not that ... Very despondent and disappointed so any help if you 've experienced similar would be appreciated - all the obvious things have been checked - it's also pops and splutters at temperature but not on immediate start up ... Not over heating though

Hi,
Did the mechanic check the LAMDBA sensor?and the whole exhaust for cracks(leaks)

((it's also pops and splutters at temperature but not on immediate start up))

Yes unfortunately ... It is all spooking similar to the nightmare freelander I've just managed to off load hence my despondency ... they are just flummoxed

Which other vehicle does a Bongo MAF come from please ?

Is your bongo under warranty Flossie if so take it back to the dealer

It's just been imported and with the import mechanic in Bristol who is having the issues.

That's good,dont get despondent and disappointed,just leave it to the mechanic to sort it out,at least you wont be landed with a hefty bill..

Cheers..

It's a private import so import Agents say I'm liable ... Legal advice said they are liable under contract law but right now I just want it fixed and on the road I've not got the emotional energy to divert to arguing that one right now but a claim form is on it's way from household legal cover ( Bongo not insured yet so went via household ) Anyway it's the tech issues bothering me at the mo

when he checked the new cat on your bongo did he remove the leads from the battery? for a couple of minutes, you have to remove the power to clear the fault code I believe.

Not sure but will certainly ask ... thank you

Still no further progress on this ... Saw two today in and around Theale an N reg blue over silver and another silver Mark 2 shape quizzed by so fast I didn't see the reg ... sooo want mine now
