So the bongo has been for its yearly checkup (otherwise abbreivated to MoT in the UK) but as well that I have also had other work done – everything essential to the longevitiy of a vehicle which is now in its 24th year !<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Big thanks to RD Motors<\/a> in Poole. Graham and his team have done an exceptionally good job in keeping my beloved bongo on the road. With C-19 still effecting everyone, more so thanks for that his welder was available, and what an amazing job they have done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having been using the bongo quite frequently before going to the garage, Monica had noticed a noise, which I recognized straight away as brake wear (familar when my first car was an Austin Metro !) – I called Graham up and arranged to get the brakes done right away which they were – front\/back pads and discs as well as the hand brake adjustment. We had previously discussed (and I had the seals) to weld up the ‘cosmetic’ rust on the drivers side, so thought now is a good a time as ever to get it done. So along with the MoT I got the welding done. Am very impressed with the results !<\/p>\n\n\n\n
