Wow! Someone else from North of Perth! Welcome!

Hi Guys
thanks for the welcome. One thing that is puzzling me is in one of the other threads on changes to the Berlingo was that the 1.6 hdi engine model has 185x15 tyres. My one has 175x14. I wonder if it is because its a standard Forte model? What are your thoughts on this?

[Northman]

There were two versions HDi engines on the Mk 2 Berlingo - a 75 hp version and an 92 hp version. The 92 hp version came with 185x15 tyres, the 75 hp version came with 175x14 tyres, regardless of whether one purchased the car in Forte or Desire trim.

Steel wheels were standard across the range. However, if one had a 92 hp HDi car in Desire trim (but not a 75 hp car or a 92 hp car in Forte trim), one could specify 15" alloy wheels as an option.

Hi Northman
thanks for that. It clears it up. I have another for you. Halfords ref says my paint is ETW Meteor Grey. On the car ref plate it says E:W??? what do you think. I need some paint as car's first owner was on mobility and there are a few scuff marks on the boot wheel arches. I assume from a wheel chair.

Hmmm. What year is your Berlingo?

I understand that ETW is the Citroen code for Mercury Grey, and the code for Meteor Grey was EYY.

HOWEVER - I don't think these colours were ever available on the Berlingo. The most likely alternative is the dark grey they call "Iron Grey" (Gris Fer) - code EZW.

(Perasmos is sort of greenish grey - the citroen code is KGP. Silver is "Arctic Steel" - EZR.)
