Post: RE: Should I buy this van?

3 owners in so few years? Looks like some well-thought-out shelving in the back, too. Someone spent some effort putting those together, so why sell it off so soon? The only real detraction...

    Thread: How rare is my berlingo
Post: RE: How rare is my berlingo

My 2014 e-Berlingo also has barn doors with glass. Of course, it being an EV of that vintage, it's probably a bit rarer... (0.1% of vans sold in Norway in 2014 was an EV model)

Post: RE: Longevity of vehicle.

My 1999 M49 had nearly 400 000 Km on the clock when I had to give it the mercy shot last summer. The poor, little 1.4i was struggling, and couldn't even hold idle. The front windshield was so scratche...

Driving to Iceland? I'd suggest a decent set of pontoons, and possibly an outbord motor. Possibly also navigation lights, life jackets and an EPIRB. ;-) Don't bother with all-season tires...

Post: RE: Key.... repaired... but how much for a New fob
