[Engine] Starting issue

[Emperor888]

Have a Berlingo late B9 2018 which I’ve had a month or so and don’t know a great deal about these vans… had an issue starting today dont think its related to the cold weather… seems like no power from battery but when I turn the key after the glow plug light goes out, the fuel/temp gauges flicker and the wipers sweep the screen… can anyone tell me what’s happening?

The symptoms you describe are typical of a dead battery, it was probably on its last legs and the cold weather has killed it.

As previously stated a dead battery is the most likely cause but if the battery is OK then Berlingos do sometimes suffer from poor/corroded earth, so another check to do if you are taking the battery out is to check the condition of the earth lead to the vehicle body.
