hi all, new to forum and this is my first van... berlingo 1.9 flat diesel, got her as an ex plumber/electricians van for 175 notes with short mot and a leaky fuel pump... fitted 2 new rubber O rings to the spindle on top of the original 1.9d xud pump and new P bushes for mot and job done, cracking little van for just shy of £200... Bargain
However, this is not going to be kept in any way standard for long, in fact its already had a xud9te lump dropped in and thats the start of it.. has made it much much more fun and in some ways more safe to drive

I used the original driveshafts from the lingo. 306 decat downpipe that was marginally bigger than the lingo one. Cut and sleeved and welded just before the centre box. All the 306 engine mounts and gearbox mount. 306 loom. However need to get a few dials and temp gague working. Lingo clutch cable with a makeshift spacer.... stop solenoid adjustment and pretty much everything else was lingo bits. Radiator. Exp tank all hoses etc direct fit. Only difference was the inner driveshaft cup on the ns was too long so swapped it for the shorter 306 one. Result.

Nice job, just swapped my DW8 to a and XUD9te. What do you mean about the driveshafts? Wondering now if thats why mine has a leak as I used the original berlingo shafts.
