5th gear very easy to change. Dont even need to take the gearbox out. Remove side plate of the gearbox, remove synchro and 5th gear and replace, fresh oil done. Think it Took about 1 hour Had to do the same on my van👍👍
I had a 60 reg Berlingo which developed the same problem with not being able to select 5th gear. A garage told me that it's easily fixed by tightening a nut under a cover on the N/S end of the .gearbox (which they did). I drove that van for 343,000 miles without any other problems.
Worth whipping the end cover off the gearbox which gives access to the 5th gear set. I've had 2 now that list 5th,both were fine after doing the nut up..
I have the 8 valve 1.6hdi engine in my Peugeot Partner and it’s just clicked over 199,500 miles without issue. I have changed the oil every 6000 miles instead of the manufacturers recommended 10,000 and it’s good as gold. We still take it all over the Highlands without any worries. I think it’s worth repairing and would make a good van for someone.
Guys I had the same 5th gear go.I had it replaced without removing gearbox.it’s the end cover.I think there’s a TH-cam video….keep up these great videos on different motors,brilliant.👌
The older Berlingo/Partner series stil soldier on....I have a few in maintenance and repair in my workshop...they are all doing fine!! And my own is 22 years old with the lovely 2.0HDIengine.......bought it for 200 Euro’s because it needed a new clutch!! I drove over 34.000km in the past 10 months and it is now nearing 350.000km....but no issues whatsoever,very economical and a joy to drive,also for long distances!! The ONLY rust common on these is the sills;I’ve just repaired my LH one.....but that is quite ok for a van of this age....
Be a good little van for someone. With it having been used by a window blinds installer it won’t have lugged massive loads. Just high mileage. Fixed gearbox will make it very desirable. I had the use of one to do the quay crane inspections at Southampton and it was a turbo diesel. Went like the clappers and ran on the sniff of an oily rag. Only reason I wouldn’t buy one is I can’t get the drivers seat back far enough because of the cage Citroen install behind it. I’ll be keen to see how you get the paint matching under where the stickers were. Great video fellas. See you next time.
Great vid Rob and Chris, it’s a real pleasure being able to see what you both get up to, brilliant partnership. Going to be a cracking little van after it’s had the treatment.
Nice little van, high mileage isn't a problem if the vehicle has been looked after properly. Love the way Chris scours the vehicles for any loose change.... you'd have thought people would have twigged that one by now.
LOL, I would like to see Rob hide a few bob in the back out the way, see if Chris finds it. Plus a few French franks just for fun. Or Rob could get back to the yard and say, eya mate, there was a fiver in this one, an I ain't sharing lol.
Bare in mind these they are likely sponsored by car vertical to advertise and promote the service viewers can buy, this is an essential revenue stream for Chris and Rob to be able to take time out of their day to film, edit etc for our entertainment. I will also say, they have not gone down the route of most other channels whereby they start advertising dieting supplements and non slip bath mats or whatever which you have to give them huge respect for as im sure with the platform they have, they have been offered numerous sponsorships. I have absolutely zero affiliation with chris and rob, or car vertical but their backround checks on cars is one of the most informative ones ive ever seen and will be of great benfit to many viewers when buying a car, im sure it has saved quite a few from buying a headache already. So yes, of you are a regular viewer, you will of course find the car vertical bit of the vids a bit long winded but bare in mind that is what likely makes these videos possible.
@@chriswhite4915 yeah I know, I sit through all their other sponsored ad sections to support the channel, but I just cannot stand the car vertical bits 😂 I have actually used car vertical for my HPI checks because of them, I just can't watch 2/3 minutes of it.
That blue berlingo at Kent auto Salvage looked like an ex taxi as it had a taxi meter hanging down the side of the dash. And Chris made a great job of taking them stickers off..
The best sticker glue remover is eucalyptus oil (get an Australian subscriber to send you a bottle), far superior to thinners and it smells a lot nicer as well. Very useful for a lot of other things as well.
Chris had that one off to a tee, peeling those vinyls off was mind-numbing for him, but it looks the works already. That said and done, it should be a lovely turn-a-round almost a flip and out the door. Even though it has worked hard, it is a great prospect for a new owner in need of something to meet their needs at a price that will not hurt. Rob's dashing about, fetching and carrying, finds the essential bits as usual.
Hi Chris don't tell Rob but they exchange old Pound coins for new ones at Banks and main Post Offices. I did one this week at my Local P.O. which turned up in a car!
Anyone would think Chris never gets any pocket money!! No doubt you'll get this van looking presentable and in working order so it will do somebody a turn and you've done you bit to save it from the breakers. Cheers as always.
Chris the money Phantom ! He earned it de-stickering. Quite a shock seeing a more or less empty scrap yard. Your the go to get things man Rob, must be well known around the salvage yards.
Back in the sixties I worked in used car sales and the first thing to check when a part exchange came in was under the seats for coins quite often I found more then my weeks wages under a seat(back then my weeks wage was £4)
i used to work at signwriting and vehicle graphics company best thing to get that glue residue off believe it or not is petrol its better than any thiners or spirits
Love a £500 van just as much as Bentley or a lambo video ! It's great how you guys haven't turned into ott TH-camrs only fixing flashy out of reach cars for normal folks and I for one am very jealous of the great workshop setup Chris has ! I do wish you could make the car vertical bit a bit shorter though ? I know they sponsor you but it's a bit of a drag everytime ! And Chris should definitely keep all the change for a yearly weigh in just like the scrap 😉
Hello Rob and Chris, another lovely little van that looked so much better just with the stickers removed. Chris was well pleased with the money he found in the van. 😂 Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged
Hello Rob and Chris, Sitting in the sun, peeling off stickers... that's my sort of job..😎 That vinyl artwork probably cost more than you paid for the van!!! Cordialement,
With this van, most people would have been like the previous owner and would have written it off as end of life scrap but with you 2, it's a bit of tinkering around and it's as good as new 😀 👍.
Another peach of a video, I’m certain Chris is “playing” up to the title of cashhunter 😂. Good to see a high mileage van going through your hands as well as when you do newer low mileage stuff . 👍👍
Keep finding the coins Chris . Even if it pays for a coffee now and again. I emptied my change jar once and had enough for an overnight stay with evening meal and breakfast. It adds up . Great video guys.
Nice vlog,had a Berlingo it had done over 200 thousand miles,like you say these modern vans last as long as you look after them,I have a 2014 long wheelbase transit connect and it's as quiet a mouse,it's done as we speak 219 thousand miles,have a good week ☕🍰
With the front struts it’s best to replace the shockers along with the top strut bearings because u get worn shockers when u take the springs off put the shocker on the bench on its back and feel the sideways movement in the strut and if there is any movement replace it coz u will get a noise when going over rough ground from the shockers
Chris is such a character re. his coin collecting but as they say "if you look after the pennies the pounds will look after themselves" Berlingo will turn out to be another little beauty from you guys and is looking great already. I presume it will be a case of either Karcher washing or jet steaming to get rid of that emulsion paint spillage..have fun and looking forward to the follow up. You're right East Kent Salvage did look a lot emptier compared to some of your earlier videos!
Have you any news on the Range Rovers .. love to see a bit of work on the classic.. must be nearly a year since you put the new floor in there .. perhaps a small video to see how that’s faring? Nice little van to enjoyed the running around behind the scenes.. looking forward to the next one 👍
Rob, if you're replacing the gearbox, it would be an idea to replace the gear linkages at the same time. I've had a high mileage Berlingo and the linkages were worn. It felt notchy and like stirring porridge. There's a kit you can get, I think.
I'll never get tired of seeing Chris hunting down those coins and stuffing them in his pockets. I now refer to him as the "Coin Squirrel" ;-). Great videos gents, all the best to you both.
5th gear very easy to change. Dont even need to take the gearbox out. Remove side plate of the gearbox, remove synchro and 5th gear and replace, fresh oil done. Think it Took about 1 hour

I have a 2010 berlingo over 310,000 miles still going great
Chris stepping up with the commentary while solo filming.
Great to see.
Good lad.
Thanks
Thank you 🙏👍
All these coins need to go in a pot and do a video at the end of the calendar/tax year or tax year "running the numbers" how much has Chris found 🤣
This has to be done!
@@leighburton1658 And, should be an annual giveaway too! Closest-exact guess wins the change! 😉
@@mikeb7050 that’s filling up his mower 🤣
That’s a great idea - could pay for their Xmas do!
@@JamesWilson-gw2ij I'm thinking he's gonna bling it up with "banging" alloys and a sound system for his tunes 😉😂
Love it when rob and chris have banter and make each other laugh
Worth whipping the end cover off the gearbox which gives access to the 5th gear set.
I've had 2 now that list 5th,both were fine after doing the nut up..
I have been told it's a common issue with these I have a 308 with the same engine and box no 5th gear and hard to get out
I have the 8 valve 1.6hdi engine in my Peugeot Partner and it’s just clicked over 199,500 miles without issue.

It's nice to see Chris's confidence to camera. :)

Great to see the good humour between you both, no point in working with someone you can't have a laugh with!
Nice to see Kent auto salvage back on the channel 😂
I really like the parts when you look round the salvage yards for the parts. It's interesting!

I love that Chris is straight into looking for spare change for the coffees. We should have a running total for the year. 😀

Was a great video again Rob & Chris and was so great too see Chris explaining more
Well done 👏 Chris great seeing ya being more involved in the content love it
I can't be the only one that watches every video without fail but always skips the car vertical section 🤦 it's just too long...

Bit of extra cash can’t blame him for the ads
No you're not mate, it's tedious!

I do that too..
Rob, Chris been with the channel since Rob was on his own doing Fiat 500s. Still going to repeat myself, best car channel on TH-cam 👍
7:48....the old Kingsferry lifting bridge. Nice 👍👍👍👍
That blue berlingo at Kent auto Salvage looked like an ex taxi as it had a taxi meter hanging down the side of the dash. And Chris made a great job of taking them stickers off..
Any van is golden at the minute
Great video
I love the way you guys work - true camaraderie!
Great video! Love the scrappy bit, reminded me of being a youngster getting bits off cars.
Nice one Rob and Chris, nice to hear Chris say what he's doing and explaining it,thanks
The best sticker glue remover is eucalyptus oil (get an Australian subscriber to send you a bottle), far superior to thinners and it smells a lot nicer as well. Very useful for a lot of other things as well.
Nice van mate as for the old £1 you can change it at the bank as its still legal tender. But not usable in shops.
my local post office has happily taken a few recently too
Stickers off, quick mop and new wheel trims an the outside will be spot on it’s a decent van
Chris doesn’t miss a trick.
Look after the pennies, the pounds look after themselves 💰
Going to be a good little run around for someone. 👍
loved hearing Chris talking about what he was doing briefly during sticker removal. Hope he keeps that up. Great vid
If you take the cover off & tighten the nut on the mainshaft it’ll sort this & tighten all the selection of gears up. 👍
Brilliant video guys,love seeing a less expensive van getting the SR-UK treatment
Chris had that one off to a tee, peeling those vinyls off was mind-numbing for him, but it looks the works already.

Glad to see you decided to save the berlingo!
Hi Chris don't tell Rob but they exchange old Pound coins for new ones at Banks and main Post Offices. I did one this week at my Local P.O. which turned up in a car!
Another great video, loved seeing you routing around the scrap yard looking for parts, a different angle you don’t usually show.. x
Another great Video Rob n Chris well done 👏
Looking forward to the next one.
Best Channel on TH-cam by a MILE
Showing up to the yard with coffee and bad news.
What a great attitude!
Anyone would think Chris never gets any pocket money!! No doubt you'll get this van looking presentable and in working order so it will do somebody a turn and you've done you bit to save it from the breakers. Cheers as always.
Getting near to the next magic number of 250K subs. Great channel
Chris the money Phantom ! He earned it de-stickering. Quite a shock seeing a more or less empty scrap yard. Your the go to get things man Rob, must be well known around the salvage yards.
Another nice find for the Berlingo Brothers. Careful. You might start getting a reputation 😄😄😄
Nice one

I have a berlingo with the same issue this series will help me solce the 5th gear issue
Another good buy !! Hopefully should be a quick turnaround?
Loved Chris foraging for coins!! Coffee s on Chris!!
Another good video well done !!
Just ordered myself some new Blinds, thanks lads 👍
Hello Rob and Chris, another lovely little van that looked so much better just with the stickers removed.

Hello Rob and Chris,
Sitting in the sun, peeling off stickers... that's my sort of job..😎
That vinyl artwork probably cost more than you paid for the van!!!
Cordialement,
surprised Chris didn't say "that gear linkage has been a gear linkage too long"
I wouldn’t worry about the mileage , we have a customer and his berlingo has 345000 on the clock on an 08 plate. Cracking video as per usual 👍🇬🇧
Brilliant video Rob and Chris
Good little buy being as vans are in such short supply will be nice to see how it ends up 👍👍👍👍 always top work
Hi Rob and Chris, basically a tidy van, once stickers off paint not too bad. Cheap buy, great potential. Alex.
With this van, most people would have been like the previous owner and would have written it off as end of life scrap but with you 2, it's a bit of tinkering around and it's as good as new 😀 👍.
Hi Rob and Chris great video did like Chris's commentary. Will be interesting to see the gearbox swap. See you both Wed thanks
Another peach of a video, I’m certain Chris is “playing” up to the title of cashhunter 😂. Good to see a high mileage van going through your hands as well as when you do newer low mileage stuff . 👍👍
great video again, nice to see the hunting around the scrap yard, used to be my favourite Sunday afternoon pastime.
I feel like I'm constantly repeating myself but I think that commenting helps the channel. So yet again another great video, thank you.
Not realised the old round £1 was out of circulation since 2017 lol.
Good video look forward to the next one.
Chriss enjoying d sun 😎 tnx lads good video 👍
Another great teatime spent watching your channel chaps, always great content 👍😃
Another great video you two looking forward to seeing the gearbox fitted 👍
Love these guys, this is a superb channel……
Keep finding the coins Chris . Even if it pays for a coffee now and again. I emptied my change jar once and had enough for an overnight stay with evening meal and breakfast. It adds up . Great video guys.
Great stuff gentlemen, always enjoyable and engaging to watch. Thank you for sharing.

It always makes me smile when Rob says "spiteful" when something's expensive. It's a really nice turn of phrase, I like it!
"It's done a bit of leg!" 😂😂😂
Love it
Chris and his loose change is just brilliant 😂 I love that it's a "thing"!
Monday, Wednesday and Friday. My favourite days of the week!
So good to hear Chris speak. Hopefully more of that. Rob you should just plank a few spare coins in the new cars for Chris make his day lol
Brilliant work and thanks for sharing this with us take care
With the front struts it’s best to replace the shockers along with the top strut bearings because u get worn shockers when u take the springs off put the shocker on the bench on its back and feel the sideways movement in the strut and if there is any movement replace it coz u will get a noise when going over rough ground from the shockers
Great video guys. Hope we get one more to see it cleaned up and finished. With a service and new gearbox, and MOT that needn't be such a cheap van.
Taxi meter hanging in the footwell was a clue. Nice to see how to remove stickers. All good stuff.
Nice video as usual , it's good to get a nice little cheapy to do up 👍
Chris is such a character re. his coin collecting but as they say "if you look after the pennies the pounds will look after themselves" Berlingo will turn out to be another little beauty from you guys and is looking great already.

Great van for someone when it's done,I agree with Chris on the money as it all adds up,great video guys,
Chris probably uses the paint stripper as a hair drier too.😆 Nice find.
Great little van ideal for carboot sales
great video guys. nice to hear Chris explaining how to do a great job. ❤
Chris got his leg over last night,he made a funny 🤣🤣🤣
Great video guys 👍🏻
As soon as the stickers came off it looked so much better. Chris and his coin grab always make me laugh 😆.
Yes. I thought the same. Worth a couple of hundred more just with the stickers gone 😀
Have you any news on the Range Rovers .. love to see a bit of work on the classic.. must be nearly a year since you put the new floor in there .. perhaps a small video to see how that’s faring? Nice little van to enjoyed the running around behind the scenes.. looking forward to the next one 👍
One of these days Chris will find that golden nugget he's looking for and it will be a will runaway/chase video
I'm a window cleaner with a Peugeot Partner I dread to think how much money I've dropped under my seats over the years. Chris would have a field day.
I'm currently sat the other side of the sand and gravel plant at Kent Autos.
Rob, if you're replacing the gearbox, it would be an idea to replace the gear linkages at the same time. I've had a high mileage Berlingo and the linkages were worn. It felt notchy and like stirring porridge. There's a kit you can get, I think.
Hi good video, thanks. Did the yard take out the scrap vehicle's gearbox or did you have to do it yourselves? Cheers.
I'll never get tired of seeing Chris hunting down those coins and stuffing them in his pockets. I now refer to him as the "Coin Squirrel" ;-). Great videos gents, all the best to you both.
Nice cheap van for someone to own. Nice to see a wide variety of both of your input into these projects. Keep up the good work guys 👍👍👍👍👍
Anyone else think the only good thing about Monday’s is an SRUK video!
