My mum got one of these when we were at school in bright gold, with the biggest sunroof you’ve ever seen. Were embarrassed to be seen in it back then but now I’ve got my own kids I’m looking to buy one! Thanks for the vid, all the best!
September 2023, just bought a dark blue berlingo,2002 mk1, not my usual type of motor, only had it a couple of weeks am impressed. Cheap parts a plenty.
Bought a 1.6 petrol 5 yrs ago. Not had a spare part in that time not even tyres (25k). Only service parts. Done 75k, its so smooth engine, floaty comfy suspension, almost silent and lovely to drive. My kids love borrowing it. I bought it to transport my elderly parents with sliding doors. I can get 3 people and 3 adult mountain bikes in. I have moved double beds/fridge freezers etc. its tatty inside now but externally is as new. 2007 plate. Bought as a 2nd vehicle workhorse and cannot fault it. Boot lock doesnt work but as u say who wants to nick one😂. I am 63 had 35 cars and i really can say I love it and its my go to to drive as a daily. The petrol is 1.6 16v 115hp and is no slouch yet on distance does 38mpg. Flimsy build and cant tow much but if this expires i will replace it with another. Your review is how i feel about mine, its a peach
Brilliant comment pal. As you may have seen with my other videos I have had some pretty sporty cars but always find myself jumping in the berlingo. The audi hasn't moved for at least 2 weeks now ha
@@projectfearn i love mine so much that i fret on what to replace it with. Have test driven the newer but not newest one and dontblike it as much. My kids all got nice cars but borrow it for moving stuff of cycling and thevproof is when u drive the thing. They have a character
Deffo. I toyed with the idea of getting a newer one but they just don't have the same charm. So will keep this until it blows up and then find a low mileage direct replacement ☺
Brings memories :-) I've had berlingo I for 12 years from new. I loved it for the space and no frills practicality on a small footprint. I've switched to Berlingo III. It's a better and more modern car but also heavier and more complicated.
Got a 1.6 petrol 2003 Multispace Forte, the most basic spec. Great car. We live on a hillfarm in Northumberland, we have a 2012 Shogun 7 seater 3lt turbo diesel 4x4, a 2009 Megane Convertible Coupe and a 2007 Mercedes s500 . The Citroen is tough, reliable, cheap to run and comfortable and it has a 650kilo payload. It can be wiped clean inside and washed out in the worst circumstances. With all weather tyres it copes with the harshest winters although this makes the terrible understeer a lot worse. It's my main car for the 40 mile round trip to town. The French havr always had an ability to produce cheap, tough, affordable, reliable and comfortable cars which are also incredibly practical. The 2VC, the 304, the Citroen Ami and LNA, the Renault 4 and 5, the 205.. there are still thousands of these on the roads of Europe and now Africa. The Berlingo, in Citroen or Puegeot form is another of these classic practical designs. I love it.
Very cheerful review! Just what I needed. I got a 1.6 petrol Multispace from the first series (2001) Ain't got half the cupholders these second series do, but I do have A/C !! Bought it dirt cheap, dark blue, full of little dents and scratches. (I love 'em that way,) And fitted a roof rack to suit the overall barn-like appearance. Got no hubcaps either. (On purpose) Unfortunately, allthough plenty of maintenance has been done well, some of it was clearly neglegted. It did 301.000KM when I got it, and my gearbox started making some really alarming noises some 15.000KM later due to the fact it had no oil in it... (When does anyone check for this when buying a second hand car...? ) It shifted beautifully though... And it wasn't leaking any transmission fluid, thats for sure... So probably the previous owner changed the clutch and then just not filled it up? I don't know... Got a second hand gearbox from a scrapyard, and went to install it together with a neighbour, who's an ex car-mechanic. Well... Should it be my luck that this gearbox has the exact same problem... It makes a very alarming and dry scraping noise, just like the one that I took out... Even though I did fill it up after installing it... Certainly, this noise isn't coming from anywhere else... We've been over it for days now... I was nearly giving up on it... But my budget is tight, and sure as hell this is probably the best car I've ever owned, for all of the reasons you've mentioned. (except the cupholders ;-P ) So thanks for reminding me! I'm just not going to give up and get me another gearbox... Hopefully, this time 'round one that isn't damaged already... I want my Berlingo back on the road...!
Cracking review, really thorough. Just bought one so this was really useful to me. It looks like mine didn’t come with air-con either which was confusing me because as far as I could find out they all came with it, so cheers for that (shame though). Mines the same colour with only 42.000 on the clock and it drives wonderfully. I’m also thinking of a boot jump for some cheap camper touring next year. Thanks a lot.
Good to hear you getting excited about the Berlingo! Bought mine in 08, it's an 04 2Hdi, air con alloys and the safety kit, abs, ebd, extra air bags etc still have it, just love it. Don't do high miles, not quite got to 70k! lots of new cars since then but none as useful and fun.
My dad had a 2007 Citoren Berlingo in red and it was a good car apart from kids in the neighborhood keying it, and my dad took it for a service and the mechanics broke the metal bit that holds the coolant, and lorry reversed into it when my dad was at work
Im picking one up in Worcestershire, from Cornwall tater today, 2005 2ltr Hdi blue multispace Desire, put a £100 non refundable deposit on it, the cars £450, no service history, bit of a dent nrs wing, bit of rust os wing needs drop links Done 180k worth a chance, I hope it has plenty of life in as looking forward to a spot of camping out, if not, hopefully last whilst sort small issues in my old 1.8 diesel 205, my usual cars. 🤞✌️Thanks for video & advice & hints within. Dunc
Brilliant review - thanks for posting. I have a 2002 Multispace Forte 1.6 petrol just turned 100k miles; I'm the 2nd owner, had it for 15 years and I've done 65k of those miles. Never had any problem with it. Had timing belt done at 40k and 90k. Mine is dark red like yours and lacquer only just starting to blister in couple of small places bonnet and roof. I understand the red ones are prone to that but hey, mine's 19 years old so I'm certainly not complaining .No other rust whatsoever. My only criticism of my Multispace is the external lighting! The indicator and side lamp bulbs seem to blow quite frequently (headlamps are OK). Big downside is the tiny rear side lights which are very dim indeed. It worries me at night in bad weather. My rear light clusters look like they are dark shaded which makes matters worse. You have the facelifted model and I've noticed that they have much clearer lenses. I wonder if these later lens clusters would fit on mine? I'd certainly buy a pair for peace of mind. Would you happen to know if they would fit? Cheers Vivian
You can straight swap the later outer lenses to your existing units. A friend of mine was concerned about the rear tail light visibility and linked some extra red led strip lights to the sides of the tailgate glass.
I bought one with tilt roof already converted. Then for about 300 quid fitted sink, battery, lights, radio, china heater and porta potty. Good solo camper.
Good video .. I’ve owned my 03 plate Multispace HDi forte since June 2015… my clutch lasted till 250k car done 270k now paid £300 for it Just had sill replaced and painted looks as good as new again and dent repaired in osr wing that had been on there since had it.. mines 2.0 HDi last year had head gasket done as well
Thanks for the video with real world feedback. I'll probably have to change my 25 year old VW Golf Mk4 in the near future. An absolute dream, so reliable that my neighbour has twice offered to buy it off me as it's more reliable than his new Opel. I've been thinking about a secondhand Berlingo for some time. I live in a village in the Czech Republic and my neighbour has an old one and newer one. He's a farmer and swears by them.
I had a Y reg 1.4 and got rid of it last year on scrappage for a Ford Tourneo Courier. The Courier might have the touchscreen and gadgets of a new vehicle, but isn't half the tardis that the Berlingo was. Like the new Berlingos, the Tourneo Courier has so much trim in the loadspace it really restricts the width, and the rear seats fold so as to intrude severely into the loadspace. Plus there's the nightmare of the DPF on a modern diesel, constantly having to do "maintenance drives" so it can regenerate. I would have kept the Berlingo if I'd have known we were going into a lockdown before I took delivery of the new one, and would have spent some time sorting out the heater matrix! I agree the seating position is superb. Barely any rust when I got rid of it, even where the C pillar had been damaged one side, only rust was on seams in the loadbay and that was just slight surface rust. The 1.4 was underpowered but got 45+mpg which isn't far off what I get in the new Courier (advertised 64mpg, I can't get above 55mpg even on the flat in sixth on the motorway!). We had a 2.0 HDi Partner at work which went like a bomb! I must admit in the 17 years I had the Berlingo I never used any of the cup holders! Only major jobs I ever had done were clutch at 150,000 (wouldn't declutch, and had to tow a boat back from Plymouth to Devon with it!), water damage to BSI due to link at A pillar. I solved my laquer peel with yacht varnish! Old number plate surround was a pain as to change the number plate bulbs it was near-impossible to unclip the lenses and you had to take off the door trim and unbolt the number plate surround. However the headlight bulbs were a 30 second job to change, but mine were the old design, I see yours has the newer headlights.
Bought a 2.0hdi 2003 with the air con new brilliant car had electric window regulater after 6 years , heater control module cheap fix , never had drop links , alternator and front springs in last year .kept 10 y years 75k ,
I've a 2007 Multispace 1.6hdi best car I've owned. With 336k on the clock and over 3 years of ownership I've put 100k of hard milage on it normally towing a trailer and not once as it broken down. Only issue I've had is the back axle finely let go which is common on this.
Just a couple of points too pal. If the cars is touching 100,000 miles and its not already had a clutch it will probably need one. Also two of my berlingos needed new rear axle at around 120-150000 miles too 😎
@@projectfearn yeh phase 1 with a k&n cone filter because the standard air box was missing when I bought it, found a k&n in the garage and chucked that on It had steels on it, one Friday evening coming back from work in London the gearbox started whining to the point my mate said I think you need to pull over I said na where at least get home, looked underneath the box had been leaking topped it back up and away she went . It was great in snow, and floods off road Literally drove it everywhere, just ended up becoming too small as the business grew
Mate, I love your channel, I have exactly the same car and the same colour. I bought a new car on the same day. I collected this one as a secondhand one Guess, which one I’m driving my berlingo I just love it
The rear door will be the child lock. Look on the side of the door when you open it and you will see a black circle with a slot in it. Turn that to turn it off. 🤪
I have a 2003 Berlingo that I bought second hand 5 years ago it is still running. I loved my Berlingo alas, it has suffered some damage with hail storm and a wooden garden chair decided to rip a trim of the back door. It is due to go for CT in January and I hope it passes as I have now bought a more modern car, 2010!! Then I hope I can sell it one to someone who will appreciate what a little work horse it is. Wish I could have afforded to buy a new one but in France cars are really expensive.
Great review Danny I know just where you're coming from mine's the 1.6 patrol not as good as the diesel for economy but it's still great on fuel and doesn't mind being in fifth gear at 30mph! Anyway it puts a smile on my face every time I drive it used it to do a tip run today and the look on everyone's face when you open that big tail gate and they see how much you can get in when they are struggling priceless mate😆I bought this as a second car but when this one gives up I will definitely replacing it with another and I've sat in the back of mine eating a buttie with a cup of tea as well mate love it😆
appreciate this thank you. am looking at getting one. had a kangoo before and converted it into a camper. looks like these have even better trim/cup holders etc. thanks
Watched your video....useful info I am looking for one in Guadeloupe French Caribbean. I am from Birmingham...moved to Canada in 1974 now retired in St Martin and wife has house in Guadeloupe...need run- about in Guadeloupe
I had a 1.4 petrol which I loved, but it was a bit juicy on fuel, so i got rid and bought a 2.0 diesel. I'm not sure if there was something wrong with it, but it was the slowest car I've ever had! I'm currently thinking of buying another, after a few years of non-Berlingo ownership, and the 1.6hdi sounds like it will suit my needs.
Great review! Im looking to bought one here in Brazil, unfortunately we don’t have the diesel version here, just the petrol 1.6 and 1.8. But um looking forward to find me a good maintained berlingo for work.
Hi. Any idea why my 2010 multispace has a rumbling sound on rough roads. My mechanic renewed drop links but it never solved problem. He can,t see or feel anything obvious. No noise on motorways or smooth roads. Thanks.Diane
I had a old Peugeot 306 deisel loved that car had it 4 years and fixed nothing on it at all apart from two front tyres. Sadly the rear a el went the same with wheels tipping inwards
My old man misses his 2004 berlingo he absolutely loved it and wants another one he's always talking about berlingos, he's got a cmax now and he absolutely hates it cos he can't do what he could do with the berlingo
Really good information, I’ve just bought a 57 plate 1.6 petrol as need to use a van in London and my 56 plate dispatch diesel doesn’t meet the emissions from October. I have 2 problems that hopefully are an easy fix. Central locking doesn’t work and horn only works with ignition off and engine not started. Been told could be a bsi reset?
Had a gearbox go on one of these (the old phrase sounds like a bag o' spanners!!).. picked one up for £100 quid and a local garage popped it in for another £200, hardly the end of the world. 1.9 diesel it used to run on will power. The fuel gauge hardly moved lol
@@projectfearn they are mate. Seen a couple of low mileage ones cheap so gonna take a look, my dog comes to work with me these days so the estate isn't cutting it anymore.. especially if I need to put something in the boot!
Nice video man! I'm on about getting one of these but don't know whether to go for the van or the one with back seats. Is it possible to remove the 2 back seats, leaving the single back seat behind the passenger in? or do you need to remove all 3? Because I need room to get a motorbike in the back but ideally need 3 seats as well. Cheers.
Yeah you can unbolt them in two parts pal 🙏 where I live when you pull up at the tip the first thing they ask me is does it have back seats haha 😄 I don't think they would let me in if it didn't but thar would be an argument for another day 😄
@@projectfearn I'm glad u mentioned that, because I'm also on about taking all the rubbish that's been building up in my shed for the last 10 years down to the tip in it. The one with seats is probably the winner then👍
@@projectfearn Its gold metallic with the funky green/ yellow interior. Got some minor issues sorted already, the airbaglamp was lit because of a loose connector under the drivers seat, the windscreenwasher pump got replaced. Love it!
Great vid, thanks bud, thinking of a low mileage mint multispace I've found, 7+ hr round trip to view but i think it'll be worth it! Thanks for the pointers, 👌 subscribed👍
Got a '59 plate Multispace II, little bit of a downgrade in features from the KIA Ceed I previously had (crunched the bodywork on that and cost too much for repair). Mother-in-law had a couple through Motorbility, so my family had little bit of experience and thus it was a car that both me and the wife agreed on. Only major issue I've had is the bearing on the alternator going, shredding the fan belt and knocking five teeth off the cam belt. Was lucky with the timing of the breakdown as minutes before I'd been on the motorway and the engine still restarted, so wasn't a write off.
Brilliant cars! We are 2 adults 3 kids 2 big dogs and going out on holiday with all the luggage is easy! Plenty of power, reliable, and 9 bloody cup holders 😂....... Storage under the back seats, under the roof, in the back of the chairs, everywhere! Recommend buying one of you are thinking about it.
Great vid very informative,would just like to add that I had a 1.4 petrol wav model 2000 and loved it as I do m/c competitions and having the floor dropped 8" gives great headroom and also the best version to make into a camper.I acquired a 2010 1.6hdi xtr model during covid lockdown and is also a WAV adapted car,brill to drive 90hp air-con regular 48mpg and so comfy if your're on a long trip.thanks for your vids.
Hi just come across your channel i have a Peugeot multispace 2006 2ltr hdi. I was just wonder what additive you used and have noticed a difference since using it.
Excellent review Matey.. I have a 1.6HDI 2006 Peugeot Partner Escapade on 250k.. I love it.. It's the second one I've had... I must say although I agree with everything you've said I only have one down point on mine.. I don't know if you have the same problem.. I'm 5ft 9ins and I find I'm constantly moving the seatbelt away from my neck. If the seatbelt height adjuster in the door pillar would go lower the belt would fit tidily over my shoulder or if I could get a height adjustable driver seat and set it slightly higher it might solve the problem that way.... Otherwise, In around 150k miles of driving my Escapades I personally can't fault them... Oh and I've just pressed the Subscribe button.. Thanks Again..
I can't say I've noticed the seat belt hitting my neck but then again I'm a little taller than you. Thank you very much for subscribing. I still have lots to come on the blue Berlingo 😎
I wonder if part of the reason why the rear axle is more prone to giving up (compared to other vehicles) is because of the spare wheel suspended underneath at the back. Must add a fair bit of weight. Maybe worth storing somewhere else.
I'm looking at an 07 Berlingo today. It's 1.4 petrol with 81K. Any advice on what I need to be looking for and is the 1.4 petrol a decent engine?? It's had the cambrly done apparently. Only needed for school and work locally around town. Thanks guys x
Hi there. If its had the Cambelt done it should of also had the water pump done at the same time (you can just do the cambelt but the water pump is situated behind the cambelt so usually are done at the same time) either way you need to see a garage invoice for this work. If they say they have done it themselves, then you want to see a receipt for the pats. Clutches last around 100,000 miles abd rear axles last around 150,000 miles
All my berlingos have needed a clutch by 100,000 miles so if it hasn't had one it will need one. Most berlingos by 150,000 miles will need the rear axle replacing 😎
Hi,hope you don't mind e contacting you ,I'm about to look at one today considering trading my x type in for it. How did you get on with it,thanks,Stan
Love your videos....we just bought a 2008 Citreon Berlingo 1.6 hdi. Having issues with brakes....brake pedal goes hard and brakes stick. Changed caliper and hose and still doing it...heading towards servo then master cylinder and then abs.....any ideas.
Thanks man I like your in depth videos. I am considering buying one of these soon. My 03 Mitsubishi Space star is getting old and lots of things going in it. Its 3500 euro for a 08 model in Ireland do you think that is too much ?
@@projectfearn yes it's got to the point now where I need a new vehicle could I get you to do a video chat with the guy that I may be buying one off perhaps you could get him to show you around it and you would know the questions to ask to find out if there is any problems with it ? I'm in Ireland. You seem to know your stuff. Maybe he could give you a video tour of it? Or maybe you could give me a list of things to check for on it.
Nice video! I have a 2003 Multispace 1.6i petrol got for a bargain £600 4 years ago had done 103000, now done 133000 and not had many major problems but in time I had it has needed new coil pack, battery, exhaust, front suspension arms, drop links, wheel bearing. I was prepared to spend as I new I got it for decent price. I have a coolant leak at moment and it’s coming from the double section heater matrix hose which is proving a nightmare to source the part, tried eBay, breakers yards etc no joy, any advice would be appreciated cheers!
Maybe one of the best looking berlingo i have ever seen!Most of them are in scrap condition! You even have the shopping carrier, which is often missing from a used one!
Hi Danny have you had the break lights go on one of these I was looking at a 2014 model but the break lights were not working its been sitting idle for a maybe a year. I drove it and it was heaven to drive it is auto matic but you can change it over to manual with gear leavers on the steering wheel. Have you experience with automatic/ manual berlingos ? Is it really bad to buy a desiel thats been sitting idle for months. I ran a diagnostics test on it and no errors came up. There was a yellow triangle on the display but that turned off i think i may have cleared it by the diagnostics tool. An engine error came up on the big display to the left of the steering wheel but it then turned off. I am going to try and get it through a pre nct test thats the national car test in Ireland. Do you know where the brake lights fuse is on the 2014 model?
The engine should be spot on. As for the electrics my only worry when a car has been sat is mice chewing things but before you panic I would litrally start with the fuse, check the bulbs and also that no water is getting to the connection block. It will be something small and easy no doubt. 😎
@@projectfearn @projectfearn Hi Danny thanks for getting back to me. Ok I'll check that out have you any idea where the fuse is for for the brake lights. All other lights are working. I didn't see the manual for the car there when I looked at the car I can ask for it again. Is it hard to decrease lower the mileage on these berlingos. The mileage seems low for a taxi but the guy said it was only used as a taxi for a couple of months.
A taxi with low mileage always throws a red flag for me as they are bought to be run into the ground so if its been parked up has there been something wrong with it. Make sure you give it a good going over. As for the mileage do all the previous MOT'S show the mileage going up steadily to the mileage that is currently displayed? Anyone can buy new clocks I suppose 🤔
@@projectfearn the guy seemed legit. I know the garage he bought it from. The inside is very clean. I'll have to check the history check I did on it. Is it possible to email you? I could send you it. He says his friend bought it to use as a taxi but his marriage split up and he went back to his home country he maintains it was was only used as a taxi for a couple of months. Before his friend headed off. It's a 2014 he is offering for euro5700. I drove it and it was really nice to drive engine sounds great. A quick engine error showed up on the led display on the dash board after I started it up but it went away. I am going to try and get it tested at a local garage when they open. The same year is going for around 12000 online the mileage if genuine is very low 60000 miles. I could maybe just be lucky and it could be genuine. If I can email you the detail would you mind having a look ? If you dont mind sharing your email?
@@xboxclubclips7181 I have that engine and if you use the gearbox properly it has no issues climbing a strong slope in the motorway when full at 90/100 km/h. That engine gives peak torque at 3500 rpm and peak horsepower at around 5000 rpm, so when you need power to go uphill, or acceleration for an overtake you'll need to shift down a few gears. It has more than enough power at lower speeds / lower gears, but upwards of 120/130 km/h it's not very agile. It's just not a car to go fast, but it's very fun to drive. Also when cruising at lower rpms it is very economical, but if you need to rev it up it starts chugging quite a lot more fuel.
I think the 1.4 petrol is 75hp like my 1.6 diesel. Obviously the diesel will have more torque. Best thing to do is load the family up and have a test drive :)
wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow.. so want one of these bergingos..... Danny you have changed my mind.... my mom wants one now to go go camping in july 2022....... when you have to work and need something practical and not sexy..... :( My other cars a MPS or an EVO.. for the chicas... sticker for the the back .... N x
Disappointing that they ditched the van based Berlingo for the bulkier people carrier style (which are still very nice), if you want a newer small-ish car with tons of headroom and storage there's not anything as good out there. Prices on these have been creeping up and I really regret not buying a mint old style Berlingo with the dual sun roof for £990 when I had the chance (but unfortunately not the drive space). Ended up with a Fiat Qubo which ticks many of the same boxes.

Very cheerful review! Just what I needed. I got a 1.6 petrol Multispace from the first series (2001) Ain't got half the cupholders these second series do, but I do have A/C !!
Bought it dirt cheap, dark blue, full of little dents and scratches. (I love 'em that way,) And fitted a roof rack to suit the overall barn-like appearance. Got no hubcaps either. (On purpose)
Unfortunately, allthough plenty of maintenance has been done well, some of it was clearly neglegted. It did 301.000KM when I got it, and my gearbox started making some really alarming noises some 15.000KM later due to the fact it had no oil in it... (When does anyone check for this when buying a second hand car...? ) It shifted beautifully though... And it wasn't leaking any transmission fluid, thats for sure... So probably the previous owner changed the clutch and then just not filled it up? I don't know...
Got a second hand gearbox from a scrapyard, and went to install it together with a neighbour, who's an ex car-mechanic. Well... Should it be my luck that this gearbox has the exact same problem... It makes a very alarming and dry scraping noise, just like the one that I took out... Even though I did fill it up after installing it... Certainly, this noise isn't coming from anywhere else... We've been over it for days now... I was nearly giving up on it... But my budget is tight, and sure as hell this is probably the best car I've ever owned, for all of the reasons you've mentioned. (except the cupholders ;-P ) So thanks for reminding me! I'm just not going to give up and get me another gearbox... Hopefully, this time 'round one that isn't damaged already... I want my Berlingo back on the road...!

Cracking review, really thorough. Just bought one so this was really useful to me. It looks like mine didn’t come with air-con either which was confusing me because as far as I could find out they all came with it, so cheers for that (shame though). Mines the same colour with only 42.000 on the clock and it drives wonderfully. I’m also thinking of a boot jump for some cheap camper touring next year. Thanks a lot.
You are very welcome 🙏
Thanks mate! Really great reviews! I love my berlingo and everything you spoke about with faults is exactly what I have come across. Well done chap!
😎😎😎
Thinking about one as I do alot of camping and fishing - looks roomy enough also I like to drive sat high
They are a cracking vehicle pal 👍
cheers mate much appreciated
Fantastic vid. Love ur style man. Love ur speed talk - very efficient- we are defo wanting a Berlingo.
Get one bought you will never ever regret it 🙏
Best honest description I've seen
Thank you 😊
Good to hear you getting excited about the Berlingo! Bought mine in 08, it's an 04 2Hdi, air con alloys and the safety kit, abs, ebd, extra air bags etc still have it, just love it. Don't do high miles, not quite got to 70k! lots of new cars since then but none as useful and fun.
Just bought an 07 to use as weekend camper, can't wait
Have fun. I've got a clip on tent for the rear of mine. I've never actually used it
Terrific review, on the lookout now for one👍
My silver one is for sale on ebay at the moment 🙏
Thank you for this, I'm clueless when it comes to what to look out for when getting a car, and I'm hoping to convert a berlingo to a weekend camper!
You are welcome 😎
My mum had one. She loved it.
Good man, that's a fine video. You clearly love your cars too. All the best!

Thanks for all that,just bought one!

My dad had a 2007 Citoren Berlingo in red and it was a good car apart from kids in the neighborhood keying it, and my dad took it for a service and the mechanics broke the metal bit that holds the coolant, and lorry reversed into it when my dad was at work
Im picking one up in Worcestershire, from Cornwall tater today, 2005 2ltr Hdi blue multispace Desire, put a £100 non refundable deposit on it, the cars £450, no service history, bit of a dent nrs wing, bit of rust os wing needs drop links Done 180k worth a chance, I hope it has plenty of life in as looking forward to a spot of camping out, if not, hopefully last whilst sort small issues in my old 1.8 diesel 205, my usual cars. 🤞✌️Thanks for video & advice & hints within. Dunc
Check the sump on the 2.0 hdi as they become porous and weep 🙏
Recently bought a Peugeot partner
1. 4 petrol... Absolutely love it 👍👍👍
Brilliant review - thanks for posting.
I have a 2002 Multispace Forte 1.6 petrol just turned 100k miles; I'm the 2nd owner, had it for 15 years and I've done 65k of those miles. Never had any problem with it. Had timing belt done at 40k and 90k. Mine is dark red like yours and lacquer only just starting to blister in couple of small places bonnet and roof. I understand the red ones are prone to that but hey, mine's 19 years old so I'm certainly not complaining .No other rust whatsoever.
My only criticism of my Multispace is the external lighting! The indicator and side lamp bulbs seem to blow quite frequently (headlamps are OK). Big downside is the tiny rear side lights which are very dim indeed. It worries me at night in bad weather. My rear light clusters look like they are dark shaded which makes matters worse. You have the facelifted model and I've noticed that they have much clearer lenses. I wonder if these later lens clusters would fit on mine? I'd certainly buy a pair for peace of mind.
Would you happen to know if they would fit?
Cheers
Vivian
High there yes yours are darker :) the bulbs holders are all the same so I guess you can put the later clusters on no problem :)
You can straight swap the later outer lenses to your existing units. A friend of mine was concerned about the rear tail light visibility and linked some extra red led strip lights to the sides of the tailgate glass.
@@byronmills5952 Hi, that's excellent information. Thanks a lot.
I bought one with tilt roof already converted. Then for about 300 quid fitted sink, battery, lights, radio, china heater and porta potty. Good solo camper.
Have tried, may have to remove door card, but thanks for response
Good video .. I’ve owned my 03 plate Multispace HDi forte since June 2015… my clutch lasted till 250k car done 270k now paid £300 for it
Just had sill replaced and painted looks as good as new again and dent repaired in osr wing that had been on there since had it.. mines 2.0 HDi last year had head gasket done as well
Some great comments, and point of interest for the the vehicle. Good down to earth video. Thanks
Cheers ✌️
Thanks for the video with real world feedback. I'll probably have to change my 25 year old VW Golf Mk4 in the near future. An absolute dream, so reliable that my neighbour has twice offered to buy it off me as it's more reliable than his new Opel. I've been thinking about a secondhand Berlingo for some time. I live in a village in the Czech Republic and my neighbour has an old one and newer one. He's a farmer and swears by them.
I had a Y reg 1.4 and got rid of it last year on scrappage for a Ford Tourneo Courier. The Courier might have the touchscreen and gadgets of a new vehicle, but isn't half the tardis that the Berlingo was. Like the new Berlingos, the Tourneo Courier has so much trim in the loadspace it really restricts the width, and the rear seats fold so as to intrude severely into the loadspace. Plus there's the nightmare of the DPF on a modern diesel, constantly having to do "maintenance drives" so it can regenerate. I would have kept the Berlingo if I'd have known we were going into a lockdown before I took delivery of the new one, and would have spent some time sorting out the heater matrix! I agree the seating position is superb. Barely any rust when I got rid of it, even where the C pillar had been damaged one side, only rust was on seams in the loadbay and that was just slight surface rust. The 1.4 was underpowered but got 45+mpg which isn't far off what I get in the new Courier (advertised 64mpg, I can't get above 55mpg even on the flat in sixth on the motorway!). We had a 2.0 HDi Partner at work which went like a bomb! I must admit in the 17 years I had the Berlingo I never used any of the cup holders! Only major jobs I ever had done were clutch at 150,000 (wouldn't declutch, and had to tow a boat back from Plymouth to Devon with it!), water damage to BSI due to link at A pillar. I solved my laquer peel with yacht varnish! Old number plate surround was a pain as to change the number plate bulbs it was near-impossible to unclip the lenses and you had to take off the door trim and unbolt the number plate surround. However the headlight bulbs were a 30 second job to change, but mine were the old design, I see yours has the newer headlights.
All valid points pal. I make great use of my cup holders ha
Bought a 2.0hdi 2003 with the air con new brilliant car had electric window regulater after 6 years , heater control module cheap fix , never had drop links , alternator and front springs in last year .kept 10 y years 75k ,
I've a 2007 Multispace 1.6hdi best car I've owned. With 336k on the clock and over 3 years of ownership I've put 100k of hard milage on it normally towing a trailer and not once as it broken down. Only issue I've had is the back axle finely let go which is common on this.
Yeah I've replaced two rear axles on berlingos. One with a hard 100,000 miles on it and another which had had an easier life at 150,000 miles 😎
Fantastic review! 10/10 You’ve covered most of my questions and because of your info I’ve decided to look for one to buy. So thank you! 👍
Just a couple of points too pal. If the cars is touching 100,000 miles and its not already had a clutch it will probably need one. Also two of my berlingos needed new rear axle at around 120-150000 miles too 😎

@@projectfearn 2001 Y reg classic
Early one that with the thinner headlights. Did it have the black hub caps? 🤣
@@projectfearn yeh phase 1 with a k&n cone filter because the standard air box was missing when I bought it, found a k&n in the garage and chucked that on
It had steels on it, one Friday evening coming back from work in London the gearbox started whining to the point my mate said I think you need to pull over
I said na where at least get home, looked underneath the box had been leaking topped it back up and away she went .
It was great in snow, and floods off road
Literally drove it everywhere, just ended up becoming too small as the business grew
Mate, I love your channel, I have exactly the same car and the same colour. I bought a new car on the same day. I collected this one as a secondhand one Guess, which one I’m driving my berlingo I just love it
You can't beat a berlingo pal 👍
Just bought a 2006 Berlingo, can't find fuse for rear fog lights also rear near side passenger door only opens from outside?
The rear door will be the child lock. Look on the side of the door when you open it and you will see a black circle with a slot in it. Turn that to turn it off. 🤪
@@projectfearn slotted circle inside door, I tried it no difference the off side door locks and unlocks using your suggestion.
I have a 2003 Berlingo that I bought second hand 5 years ago it is still running. I loved my Berlingo alas, it has suffered some damage with hail storm and a wooden garden chair decided to rip a trim of the back door. It is due to go for CT in January and I hope it passes as I have now bought a more modern car, 2010!! Then I hope I can sell it one to someone who will appreciate what a little work horse it is. Wish I could have afforded to buy a new one but in France cars are really expensive.
My brothers dad used to have the Peugeot partner . Pretty sure there the same van rebadged? It never broke down. Went anywhere .
Yeah mate. Same thing 😎
Great video. I'm about to get my first car and I really like the Berlingo.

Love mine too. Just keeps going.

Great review Danny I know just where you're coming from mine's the 1.6 patrol not as good as the diesel for economy but it's still great on fuel and doesn't mind being in fifth gear at 30mph! Anyway it puts a smile on my face every time I drive it used it to do a tip run today and the look on everyone's face when you open that big tail gate and they see how much you can get in when they are struggling priceless mate😆I bought this as a second car but when this one gives up I will definitely replacing it with another and I've sat in the back of mine eating a buttie with a cup of tea as well mate love it😆

yes i get the same looks
people can't believe how much stuff comes out of it :-)
Did my clutch myself really easy job 180£
Replaced the cylinder head again really easy
appreciate this thank you. am looking at getting one. had a kangoo before and converted it into a camper. looks like these have even better trim/cup holders etc. thanks

I had a 1.4 petrol which I loved, but it was a bit juicy on fuel, so i got rid and bought a 2.0 diesel. I'm not sure if there was something wrong with it, but it was the slowest car I've ever had!
I'm currently thinking of buying another, after a few years of non-Berlingo ownership, and the 1.6hdi sounds like it will suit my needs.
Great review! Im looking to bought one here in Brazil, unfortunately we don’t have the diesel version here, just the petrol 1.6 and 1.8. But um looking forward to find me a good maintained berlingo for work.
Good luck my friend. :)
Hi. Any idea why my 2010 multispace has a rumbling sound on rough roads. My mechanic renewed drop links but it never solved problem. He can,t see or feel anything obvious. No noise on motorways or smooth roads. Thanks.Diane
I had a old Peugeot 306 deisel loved that car had it 4 years and fixed nothing on it at all apart from two front tyres. Sadly the rear a el went the same with wheels tipping inwards
Its is a rubbish design but easy enough to swap out 😎😎😎

My old man misses his 2004 berlingo he absolutely loved it and wants another one he's always talking about berlingos, he's got a cmax now and he absolutely hates it cos he can't do what he could do with the berlingo
Hear this alot pal. 😔
I love so much I've been trying to get my hands on it.
Any good soul even an old or none running
Really good information, I’ve just bought a 57 plate 1.6 petrol as need to use a van in London and my 56 plate dispatch diesel doesn’t meet the emissions from October. I have 2 problems that hopefully are an easy fix. Central locking doesn’t work and horn only works with ignition off and engine not started. Been told could be a bsi reset?
Don't hold me to this mate but I think the central locking has its own little module that can fail. As for the horn I'm not sure on that one pal :)
Had a gearbox go on one of these (the old phrase sounds like a bag o' spanners!!).. picked one up for £100 quid and a local garage popped it in for another £200, hardly the end of the world. 1.9 diesel it used to run on will power. The fuel gauge hardly moved lol

Nice video man!
I'm on about getting one of these but don't know whether to go for the van or the one with back seats. Is it possible to remove the 2 back seats, leaving the single back seat behind the passenger in? or do you need to remove all 3? Because I need room to get a motorbike in the back but ideally need 3 seats as well.
Cheers.
Yeah you can unbolt them in two parts pal 🙏 where I live when you pull up at the tip the first thing they ask me is does it have back seats haha 😄 I don't think they would let me in if it didn't but thar would be an argument for another day 😄
@@projectfearn I'm glad u mentioned that, because I'm also on about taking all the rubbish that's been building up in my shed for the last 10 years down to the tip in it. The one with seats is probably the winner then👍

Cheers mucka. Gonna be buying one soon. Will be spending 2k on one. So should get a decent one. But will be having 500 in pot for any problems.
2k and you should get a better. Remember you gey around 150k from an axle and around 100k from a clutch 😎

Any problems with the automatic gearboxes in Berlingos? If I buy one it would have to be an automatic one. Thanks
I've never had an automatic to give a verdict. Sorry 😞
Got a '59 plate Multispace II, little bit of a downgrade in features from the KIA Ceed I previously had (crunched the bodywork on that and cost too much for repair). Mother-in-law had a couple through Motorbility, so my family had little bit of experience and thus it was a car that both me and the wife agreed on.
Only major issue I've had is the bearing on the alternator going, shredding the fan belt and knocking five teeth off the cam belt. Was lucky with the timing of the breakdown as minutes before I'd been on the motorway and the engine still restarted, so wasn't a write off.
Have a look at the Honda spike, you might have to import.

Great vid very informative,would just like to add that I had a 1.4 petrol wav model 2000 and loved it as I do m/c competitions and having the floor dropped 8" gives great headroom and also the best version to make into a camper.I acquired a 2010 1.6hdi xtr model during covid lockdown and is also a WAV adapted car,brill to drive 90hp air-con regular 48mpg and so comfy if your're on a long trip.thanks for your vids.

Hi just come across your channel i have a Peugeot multispace 2006 2ltr hdi. I was just wonder what additive you used and have noticed a difference since using it.

Excellent review Matey.. I have a 1.6HDI 2006 Peugeot Partner Escapade on 250k.. I love it.. It's the second one I've had... I must say although I agree with everything you've said I only have one down point on mine.. I don't know if you have the same problem.. I'm 5ft 9ins and I find I'm constantly moving the seatbelt away from my neck. If the seatbelt height adjuster in the door pillar would go lower the belt would fit tidily over my shoulder or if I could get a height adjustable driver seat and set it slightly higher it might solve the problem that way.... Otherwise, In around 150k miles of driving my Escapades I personally can't fault them... Oh and I've just pressed the Subscribe button.. Thanks Again..
I can't say I've noticed the seat belt hitting my neck but then again I'm a little taller than you. Thank you very much for subscribing. I still have lots to come on the blue Berlingo 😎
I wonder if part of the reason why the rear axle is more prone to giving up (compared to other vehicles) is because of the spare wheel suspended underneath at the back. Must add a fair bit of weight. Maybe worth storing somewhere else.
Great video thanks 😁
You are very welcome 🙏
I'm looking at an 07 Berlingo today. It's 1.4 petrol with 81K. Any advice on what I need to be looking for and is the 1.4 petrol a decent engine?? It's had the cambrly done apparently. Only needed for school and work locally around town. Thanks guys x
Hi there. If its had the Cambelt done it should of also had the water pump done at the same time (you can just do the cambelt but the water pump is situated behind the cambelt so usually are done at the same time) either way you need to see a garage invoice for this work. If they say they have done it themselves, then you want to see a receipt for the pats. Clutches last around 100,000 miles abd rear axles last around 150,000 miles

👍great report 😊
I am considering one of these or a qubo/nemo. They all have roughly 100k miles. Should I avoid cars with this mileage?
All my berlingos have needed a clutch by 100,000 miles so if it hasn't had one it will need one. Most berlingos by 150,000 miles will need the rear axle replacing 😎

Hi Danny have you had the break lights go on one of these I was looking at a 2014 model but the break lights were not working its been sitting idle for a maybe a year. I drove it and it was heaven to drive it is auto matic but you can change it over to manual with gear leavers on the steering wheel. Have you experience with automatic/ manual berlingos ? Is it really bad to buy a desiel thats been sitting idle for months. I ran a diagnostics test on it and no errors came up. There was a yellow triangle on the display but that turned off i think i may have cleared it by the diagnostics tool. An engine error came up on the big display to the left of the steering wheel but it then turned off. I am going to try and get it through a pre nct test thats the national car test in Ireland. Do you know where the brake lights fuse is on the 2014 model?
The engine should be spot on. As for the electrics my only worry when a car has been sat is mice chewing things but before you panic I would litrally start with the fuse, check the bulbs and also that no water is getting to the connection block. It will be something small and easy no doubt. 😎
@@projectfearn @projectfearn Hi Danny thanks for getting back to me. Ok I'll check that out have you any idea where the fuse is for for the brake lights. All other lights are working. I didn't see the manual for the car there when I looked at the car I can ask for it again.
Is it hard to decrease lower the mileage on these berlingos. The mileage seems low for a taxi but the guy said it was only used as a taxi for a couple of months.
A taxi with low mileage always throws a red flag for me as they are bought to be run into the ground so if its been parked up has there been something wrong with it. Make sure you give it a good going over. As for the mileage do all the previous MOT'S show the mileage going up steadily to the mileage that is currently displayed? Anyone can buy new clocks I suppose 🤔
@@projectfearn the guy seemed legit. I know the garage he bought it from. The inside is very clean.
I'll have to check the history check I did on it. Is it possible to email you? I could send you it. He says his friend bought it to use as a taxi but his marriage split up and he went back to his home country he maintains it was was only used as a taxi for a couple of months. Before his friend headed off. It's a 2014 he is offering for euro5700. I drove it and it was really nice to drive engine sounds great. A quick engine error showed up on the led display on the dash board after I started it up but it went away. I am going to try and get it tested at a local garage when they open. The same year is going for around 12000 online the mileage if genuine is very low 60000 miles. I could maybe just be lucky and it could be genuine.
If I can email you the detail would you mind having a look ? If you dont mind sharing your email?

What about the 1.4 engine. Found one to buy. But we will be 5 people in it on holiday. Would i be able to go uphill safely?
I've never driven the 1.4 pal
@@projectfearn thanks for the answer. what do you think about a 1.4 engine in general. will it be enough power for a family.
@@xboxclubclips7181 I have that engine and if you use the gearbox properly it has no issues climbing a strong slope in the motorway when full at 90/100 km/h. That engine gives peak torque at 3500 rpm and peak horsepower at around 5000 rpm, so when you need power to go uphill, or acceleration for an overtake you'll need to shift down a few gears. It has more than enough power at lower speeds / lower gears, but upwards of 120/130 km/h it's not very agile. It's just not a car to go fast, but it's very fun to drive. Also when cruising at lower rpms it is very economical, but if you need to rev it up it starts chugging quite a lot more fuel.
I think the 1.4 petrol is 75hp like my 1.6 diesel. Obviously the diesel will have more torque. Best thing to do is load the family up and have a test drive :)

Disappointing that they ditched the van based Berlingo for the bulkier people carrier style (which are still very nice), if you want a newer small-ish car with tons of headroom and storage there's not anything as good out there. Prices on these have been creeping up and I really regret not buying a mint old style Berlingo with the dual sun roof for £990 when I had the chance (but unfortunately not the drive space).
Ended up with a Fiat Qubo which ticks many of the same boxes.
