Hello - new Berlingo owners here, Wales near Aberystwyth.
Our last car died rather suddenly (and disappointingly 7 days after getting it through the MoT) so casting around for something local, cheap to tax/run with a towbar found a Berlingo Multispace 1.6 HDi on a 57 plate.
Nice wee car - pulls well and with the mileage at 133,000 plus is hanging together well (owned it two weeks now and put another 1,000 on it). Changed the cambelt (previously done a Pug 1.4 HDi - this one easier as a little more room between wing and engine) and, so far, very pleased.
Dog likes the big boot, wife likes driving it (has always preferred a 'sit up and beg' driving position).
Only grumble is I find it easy to cover the brake and accelerator pedals at the same time - getting less and less but still not that reassuring at first....
