Berlingo Newbie

[RevManiac]

Thanks for the add girls and guys!

I never thought this day would come but in the quest for the right mix of economy, practicality and funkiness, I'm moving from Subaru Forester Turbo to Berlingo ownership this week.

I'm getting older or more sensible. Maybe a combination of both. I blame the wife really...

I've settled for a 1.6hdi, fsh, 1 owner, 100k beast. It doesn't guarantee anything but it's a good place to start I guess. Lots of 1.6hdi horror stories around but I'm feeling brave.

Wish me luck!

Bill

Hi Rev and welcome dont worry about the 1.6hdi engine lots on the road without probs - just keep the engine serviced and use the correct oil it will be fine.

Hi Rev welcome to the forum glad to have you on board. As Polar says just keep it serviced and use the correct oil and you will be fine. You always hear the horror stories but there are thousands of those engines out there working well. I had one for a couple of years brought secondhand no problems at all.

You've spoilt the illusion now when I saw your user name I thought you were a crazy priest

Nice one Tomcat,
Also good to know that there are lots of spares out there if the worst does happen

Sorry Geoff

The name came from teenage years spent obsessing over high revving honda engines.

Although i am religious, so you never know... the crazy priest thing could happen...

Hello Rev welcome to the forum good to have you with us i thought you were joining to give the sinner's a chance to repent their sin's of which there are many i tried but it fell it on stony ground .

Beast is not really a description I would apply to a Berlingo   but each to their own   Hello RM.

There is hope for us all Jed, although it sounds like I may have to make special intersession on your behalf :
