Welcome, hopefully you can get 'Burt' back into shape. There are plenty of people on here to help, I've found over the years I've been on the forum. If you need to ask any questions, ask them on the appropriate sub-forum. A '52' Berlingo will either be a M49 model or a M59 model [look at the images below to see which your model is, you can tell by the headlamp shape]

M49
   


M59
   

The 1.9 litre lump is a pretty good engine and if looked after can go on for many, many miles. When I say looked after, make sure you do regular oil and filter changes on the engine. I think the recommended service interval for oil changes on the 1.9D is 6000 miles.

It's the m59 I'm needing to sort the exhaust and try get my hands in some panels as my front drivers side is rusted and I belive I'm gonna have to teach myself to weld all In all should be fun apart from that I think I've got myself a nice summer project
