    Thread: Cat removal?
Post: RE: Cat removal?

38 sold - popular item. I was going to suggest getting one from a scrappy and smash the guts out, common practice on many vehicles but the above at £31.22 delivered sounds a reasonable price.

Isopropyl Alcohol, used for cleaning camera lenses so it must be pretty safe with coatings.

Post: RE: Central locking issue

On mine its the front passenger door which seems to be the culprit, I put the key in it and lock and unlock it numerous times and the fault clears for a month or two.

Post: RE: Do I have the correct tyres ?

Contrary to a previous post of mine ..... Some Berlingo's need a higher load rating than most car tyres. There will be a speed rating after the 205/65R15C number - usually R Load and speed rating is...

150k on a petrol engine is pushing on a bit, I'd be surprised if it hasn't had a recondition or replacement engine.

Less critical for colour consistency so original paint is cheaper and easier to touch up.

I didn't know there was a 1.9 turbo (possibly showing my ignorance, asking out of curiosity). Have you checked the BIG fuses under the bonnet?

1.9D isn't going to win many races at traffic lights but I find it amazingly pleasant to drive and the reassurance of having a pretty bullet-proof engine is well worth it. We are getting rid of a 1.6...

Don't know the specifics but often on other cars it happens because a join is fitted with a twist on it or not overlapped far enough.

If you are looking for an old one I'd certainly recommend the 1.9D Berlingo's but they are low acceleration. I don't like any turbo engines so I can't comment on modern ones.

I'd tend to put a heat shield under it to reduce hot air from the radiator, good mod anyway. Downside is that insurance companies like to know about these mods.
