soon to be berlingo owner...

[otterheed]

Hi and thanks for making the joining process so easy!
I am soon to be entering the world of berlingo ownership, but have a few questions to help me choose exactly what to buy...
I need a six seater (4 kids!) so I am hoping there is a way to have a crew cab setup but with the 3 extenso type front cab seats. Looking at vans around 2013 (not sure which version this is). I don't want an MPV as I can reclaim VAT on a van.
My question really is can you fit the berlingo sliding crew cab seat/bulkhead into a van which has the 3 front seats or does the ladder bulkhead that holds the middle seatbelt get in the way of the crewcab folding mechanism?
Also are crewcab vans the same as non-crewcab or do they have extra tappings/fittings added in the factory to allow the crewcab seat/bulkhead assembly to attach? (There seems to be some kind of rail that the bulkhead slides along).
Any other ideas would be welcomed.
I am interested in the XTR+ version with the LSD etc, anything undesirable about these?
Could anyone point me in the direction of a thread detailing particular things to look out for when buying a berlingo of this age (2010-2013)?
Sorry to start with a list!
thanks in advance,

Welcome Otterhead, sorry I cant help with your questions as I'm a Multispace owner and don't have any experience of the crew-cab versions.

Thanks Matt,
is there somewhere more appropriate I should post this question? Or a way to forward it to a different section of the forum?
