Make Berlingo offroad
#1
Smile 
Hello all Berlingo people. Is there any way I can make my 2wd Berlingo look more like a 4x4 Berlingo? I mean make it higher in the front so I can go a bit off-road. Would it be enough to just change the springs?

There was a 4x4 Berlingo, google some pictures, that may be the look you are after

One of the M59 Peugeot Partner versions had raised suspension

Traction is pretty poor no matter how much the suspension is raised. 
I have trouble getting up my driveway in wet weather so mud etc. is going to be challenging with 2WD!

There was a version available with limited slip differential to give it a bit better rough ground performance. Peugeot Partner Combi had a few off road pretensions with grills on the lights and higher ride.
So where does this bit go then ?

Thansk for the fast answers. Im not really looking for traction. Im only looking for looks. I want my 2wd to be as high as the 4x4 in the front.

For the 1.4i/MA5 users there's a 'LSD'
out there that uses a slightly different tech that gives a much moother operation. It has been used a lot in rallying models with that engine and gearbox. It's actually manufactured in England, but I think the price is over £500, and you need to completely dismantle the gearbox to fit it.

If you just want the looks, I'd suggest checking around on breakers yards for a scrapped 4x4 and get the parts off of that. Then you'd know that the parts fits...

Peugeot Partner Escapade has 30mm longer shocks and different springs to a Berlingo. I have one and rebuilt it's front end when I bought it - the part numbers are all different between the two models.

The Escapade also have a substantial steel sump/skid plate and the light guards as mentioned above.

Pretty interesting that the escapade has more than just skin-deep differences.

Yeah, I have the escapade version and I always thought it is just cosmetic differences as I mostly get my parts from looking at the M59 berlingo version. Nevertheless, the skid/sumpguard plate is pretty substantial piece of metal, heavy as hell and the shock absorber height is higher definitely. I am sure that one can get crashed escapade parts and swap them around.
Also, the fuel lines underneath are protected by a plate, so difficult to get snagged or cut.
