Hi all
Afraid to say that the Berlingo has moved on to pastures new. Bought it in 2017 as an urgent stopgap (i.e. anything local with a towbar and MoT on it) and then ended up keeping it for over two years and 20,000 miles plus.
Overall a fairly simple car to work on, cheap to run and parts plentiful. Towed our mini-caravan (750kg all up) well.
Main reason for selling it was that I was finding myself more and more crippled if I drove it for more than an hour or two - combination of ageing hip and the seat/accelerator geometry, I never could get comfortable in it (also with the Pugs that we've owned).
'Des' will be missed. Thanks for all the advice/tips over the past two years. I'll likely pop back for advice on the 110 HDi in the Mini though......
