Hi All
really pleased to have just joined the Berlingo family. Proud owner of an 04 forte 2.0hdi.
Got it home and first night outside house someone threw up on it . . . i guess they are not everyone's taste.
Hoping to change the oil/filter and gearbox oil.
I am expecting the oil/filter to go ok but not sure where to start with the gearbox.
I am assuming that this would be a good idea but would like to avoid garage prices where poss.
Any other suggestions for easy preventative work? Cambelt? it's done 93k and no record of a cambelt change yet
Thanks
Ciaran

I'd be changing the Cambelt at that age mileage if it were mine.

As Steve says I would definitely get the cam belt changed sooner rather than later at that age and mileage.

Define reasonable
The Citroen web site shows a fixed price of £295

I would think a local to you garage would do it cheaper?
