That's cos we didn't care - the Berlingo is such a lovely car it doesn't need twiddles. That's be like putting springs onto a 2CV.

Post: RE: ABS Fault C1381, and the fix.

This was the best true short story I've read in a long time - full of drama and unexpected plot twists. And even scope for a franchise!

I nearly said the same thing about gaiters but I think it's a leather knob he wants. Might be possible to cover a knob with the leather from a gaiter, or find a leather worker/restorer to do it for so...

As for how long it will last for, you can pamper it all you like but it really depends on how its first two owners treated it. Don't just glance at the SH, go prepared with a list of what should have ...

The buzzer must be wired to the microswitch on the gearstick which operates the reversing lights. Should be simple to trace its wiring and snip. Maybe it was installed for a blind driver.

I thought I was the only one who liked high rides! The 4x4 ones are conversions by a French company called Dangel. Maybe you could find an XTR being scrapped somewhere?
