The heater is not the simplest job on a Berlingo. It requires either an amateur with a spare weekend and good skills/tools, or a pair of mechanic/apprentice half a day. This realistically takes in removal of the dash, a wipe down of the mess, replacement of the heater core, reassembly, a coolant flush, fill and bleed. After thirteen-odd years most cars are a bit chatty behind the scenes so you often need to re-foam vent gaskets and stuff like that if you're thorough.
The carpet is fitted before all of the dash on a Berlingo, to remove it and valet after it's been made filthy with coolant and general dirt, is a major hassle - careful slitting with a knife will help.
