I take it you have a diesel?
Unless you have changed a diesel filter before and understand how to bleed them i would take it to a garage as some Berlingo's can be a nightmare to bleed to be honest, you are better off filling the filter with fresh diesel on the 1.6hdi but that is no guarantee it will start. A lot of garages use a suction device such as a sump pump i have used this method myself when they are being a pain!

I doubt on a 2011 that it needs changing unless you have done monster miles or have a problem.

Forgot to mention that if it is a diesel you've got, there are two filters available for your of lingo
The first one is the genuine Citroen part at £49+VAT
The second one is a Citroen approved Motaquip part that can be used on cars that are 4 years and older at £32+VAT if bought from a Citroen dealer
VFF476 can be bought though for about £15 online

On the Mk3 1.6 HDi it's 50000 miles
If you didn't own the Lingo when it reached that mileage, it may have already been done, so you have another 30000 miles before it needs changing again

mine broke down twice with blocked fuel filter at 29,000 miles I now change it every 12.500 miles, and ive read a good few stories about filters blocking throwing up fault codes and causing poor running.
