Bongo Fury

We need to compare EGR/idle/solenoid valve stay tubes on our 1995 Freda against another Bongo/Freda as one has been cut and the two tubes below the stay have nothing attached. Is there anyone in the Hull area able to help?
Freda has always had starting problems in respect of it starting after the glow plug light goes out but then intermittently idles poorly. If we turn it off then on sometimes it will be ok. We are getting white diesel smelling smoke. This is only from cold. We have had glow plugs replaced four times in 18 months.! The glow plug relay and fusable link were replaced early last year. Very recently, after cooling problem, have had a new head and all gaskets fitted, plus new thermostat, water pump, and heat sensor, but the choppy idle still remains.

as one has been cut and the two tubes below the stay have nothing attached.

I wonder why they were cut. If someone can post a photo showing where the hoses should connect, it may help you.
You could also ask for help in the forum that's for your local area.

If you read this related thread there is a photo of the fast idle solenoids http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/ ... id#p441641. Is this the area you want a better photo of or even a diagram off lush projects perhaps.

There is also a thread "engine cut out" at the moment by ziggi which may be useful

Here are photos of the vacuum hoses on a breaker, are they of any use?

Thankyou everyone for help, advice and the photographs. We will compare them with our Freda and report back our findings.
Last night we were at a car club inter-natter annual quiz, some 80 miles from home. Whilst other team members had a long journey and a late night home, we were tooked up in Freda in the car park behind the pub! Ah the benifits of the camper! It's always worth phoning a pub landlord in advance to see if you may camp over. If their car park is out of site of the road - many will let you. And, Freda, she ran sweet as a nut there and back but starting up this morning was the usual lumpy, dont want to play, with white smoke.

Had a mechanically minded friend take a look at Freda and he did some temporary re-routing of vacuum tubes and she is now starting better with less white smoke, but not yet perfectly. Our problems are broken tube attachments on the breaker holders plus all tubes are brittle and broken, not cut as we originally thought. So, we now need part number K5T49091 KL01 5906 by 2. Are these easily abtainable and affordable? Regarding the tubing does this have to be anything special?
Freda played yet another trick on us on Saturday. She decided to drag the rear silencer on around a roundabout. Luckly no tools required for removing it just a few tie wraps to hold remaining pipe up! Never go anywhere in a vehicle without them! Booked in tomorrow to have new exhaust built on. But does the rear silencer have to be that big??
