Hello all,
I recently bought a 2006 Berlingo Enterprise van 1.9D. Its going to be used for kayaking, biking, tip runs and keeping the mileage down on my cherished car!
Its only done 78,000 and is in great nick for a work steed. I thought I wouldn't do too much to it but cant seem to help myself with vehicles, and have already treated it to;
2 new Avon ZT7 tyres (extra load)
fuel system cleaner (Archoil)
new fuel filter
new front discs and pads
new fuel filter
Adjust high idle speed.
Oh and a clay pad treatment and then Auto Topaz wax, plus a clean and lubricate underneath and in the engine bay.
Like I said, just cant help myself!
Whats weird is the tax- before I bought it, various sites said £140 (Euro 4 compliant) but the lovely DVLA sharks, sent a bill for £260.
I called them earlier and said I think the tax class is wrong and they've said I must contact Citroen UK and get them to confirm in writing it meets Euro 4 ( this was mandatory from January 2005). I don't see how Citroen could have sold a vehicle made in 2006 ( registered October 2006) if it didn't meet the Euro 4?!!
Anyhow, perhaps others have experience of this??
And looking forward to adventures with the Berlingo!
Cheers. Matt.
