Mazda Bongo Cambelt/timing belt & things

[@Nick-dq9ex]

I love some of the conversions you have done especially the rear conversion that you restored

Hi Matey . We have just had our Timing Belt done at Bongo Spares. Great job. We stopped in the Malthouse Hotel just up the road. We used our Pensioners Bus Pass and wandered around Sewerby Bridge and Wetherspoons for a Beer at £1.89 a pint. Thanks for your vid it helped us a lot. ❤ George and jane

Glad it was useful! Bongo spares seem like a very knowledgeable and friendly lot :) cheers 👍

[@MakeDoAndMend1]

@@VantasticIdeas yep and reasonable. 😀

Deffo worth doing the cambelt. We learnt the hard way and ended up stranded and brought home on a flatbed. Forgot about it, and it snapped pretty much precisely at 5 years. Luckily we have 2.0 petrol which is non interference engine so no damage. Think diesel engines fair much worse.

[@VantasticIdeas]

That was my worst fear (the flatbed of shame has yet to visit me), thankfully sorted now! yes having the 2.0 ltr does make it slightly less daunting. Cheers 👍

Aaah good to have you back fella we've missed you, tshirt is sharp loving mine also. Qyuck questuon did you ever manage to find cap cover for redundant seat belt holes ? Bren

[@VantasticIdeas]

Thanks Bren! I did research a load of caps but haven’t ordered one yet, will update if I get one that fits :)

My Bongo is 220kms in now & with only one recorded cambelt change in it's lifetime, it needs doing but quotes I've had are around £700 often supplemented with a friendly " yea mate, it's not easy to change on a Bongo" Thanks (I think) for reminding me to get on with it.

[@VantasticIdeas]

Mine is a 2ltr so the prices do vary across the different types. If you live anywhere near bongo spares they are worth considering. Hope you get it sorted soon, cheers 👍

Just had mine changed and it's a Diesel. Sleep more sound in my bed these days . One less worry. George and Jane Motorhome Adventures
