Just got my first Berlingo.
Job 1 - find a site and find out where the problems lie
Job 2, take measures to avoid possible agro
I hope . . .

Yeah cheers mate, it's a 54 reg 1.9 diesel, basically a little blue van lol.
Needs a few bits doing - heavy clutch, silencer hanging off, offside headlight fogged up which looks like it's letting water in and a crunchy 3rd gear
Otherwise it's ok.
It's just a cheap little runabout.

Hi George and welcome.
Engines are built proof just keep regular servicing
Your gearbox has a shot sincro on 3rd - change the oil may help but ultimately its a replacement box/repair or live with it = my choice.
Clutch heavy could mean close to needing replacing
Change the headlight or take it out and drill holes underneath if you can to allow the moist air out - it will be worse in winter - has the van been standing? Happens to mine if i dont use it.
