Just bought my first Berlingo this week!.. love the space!..mines done 134,000 miles but 1lady owner so looks like new. Lots of people said don't buy one because of electrics but watching your videos restores my faith! Thkyu
Honestly Lisa. I've never had any major issues at all with my Berlingos. The red one I've owned nearly 5 years and done 100,000 miles in. Yes it's had a new axle etc but that will do the car another 15 years. People who tend to have bad opinions on them have never actually owned one. Enjoy the berlingo 🙌
@@projectfearn Thankyou, all cars have their issues! I'm a Citroen fan (own a 1979 Acadiane) l see this one as a classic so it will be well loved and used everyday. 👍 They deserve to be kept on the road!
oh yes chippy tea and a Danny vid,,,, :) i used to have the same problem with my renault 19 (still have it sorn now ) :( go round the car when its dark the car knocking each light cluster..... :) we need to get down with the kids Danny.. just leave that rear wiper off...... but then when you floor it you cant see the dibble behind....:) bit concerened you listening to radio 2....... and lucas electrical used to be based in burnley............ long time ago...... alll good stuff though... keep on with it N x
Danny you're not even halfway done with this french garbage. Since you had the antenna leak I GUARANTEE you that there is at least 4 liters of water in one of the footwells, thoroughly soked into the 10-12cm thick foam casting under the carpet. Once the water gets under the carpet it wil stay there for ever, or until the whole carpet is taken out and dried (takes about 1-2 weeks on the bathroom floor). And there will be plenty of rust on the floor panels, floor panels may even have rusted through. This garbage car leaks water EVERYWHERE: A) Radio antenna (gasket), B) Spoiler/deflector above windscreen, C) Steering column thru-floor grommet/gasket, D) Tail lights, E) Ablong seal covers above tail lights, this little detail at the far rear causes water to trickle along the whole car, and it ends up in the footwells, F) Blinded holes (round tape sticker) on A-pilars (if the tape is pierced, otherwise ok) G) Inside all door gaskets, especially front doors A-pilar. Water leaks in the gaps between the spotweled panels, and ends up on the floor (yeah under the carpet!), H) All rear side windows are leaking, in two places: between glass and gasket, and the 3 attachment points on the glass (there is a rubber gasket, but not even this could they get right), I) At various places underbody, poor sealing technique, sloppy work, and rust bypassing the caulks and letting water in, J) In some cases water gets into the cabin air intake, ends up under the carpet of course, K) And then there is that idiotic accordian/panorama sunroof: -If that flapping sealing lip that contacts the main gasket is cracked past the gasket sealing lip there is a leak, especially if there is wind and rain towards this area, -Leak between main gasket and roof panel, the cause is unbelievable poor assembly, -Leak between fixed rear end and gasket, -Leak between the front 'flap' and gasket, highly dependant on temperature as the whole plastic roof contract/expands greatly with temperature. Wind noise is a tell-tale sign. I have plenty of pictures to back this up. I've now sealed everything (or just about done with it). Before the carpets go in I will give it a 10min HP wash (from a good distance), onto all sides, front, rear, and top and bottom. Hopefully not a single drop will get in anywhere.
Sorry pal. Never for a towbar. Next time I see one with a tow bar I will stick my head under it. I'm pretty sure it will have to bolt to the rear axle 😎
love the berlingo a proper car especially for long journeys as the comfort is perfect ,,,sadly citreon spoil a great car by using rivets grrrrrr which makes diy a problem for the average car guy ,,,so a little heads up the sliding door handle which breaks more often than not is also riveted ,,,great video keep up the good work
New subscriber to your channel. Great stuff. Could you do something on fitting an aftermarket horn and a button. I am having a mare trying to find a way in from the engine bay to the inside of the car. Cheers.
@@projectfearn Any experience with high fuel consumption on a 75hp 1.4i Berlingo, above 11L per 100km? I consider clogged and not optimal functional injectors a reason!? Try some liquid chemical cleaning right now...I wait for results of the fuel-milage, am aware of the fuel-air-bubble issue under not horizontal fuel-filling conditions, which makes measuring a little difficult.

The bulbs for the dash are readily available from any motor factors, just did mine cost me £1.50 for three.
😎😎😎
Dan, Where is the speed sensor on this ?
On top of the gearbox pal I think :)
good stuff Danny, any evo videos in the pipe line with summer coming up?
Full ayc rebuild next week mate. 😎
Helped me a lot....help needed with hazard warning light on dash...and door window switches.
Hey buddy love the berlingo videos! Do you know how to fit a tow bar on this model?
Sorry pal. Never for a towbar. Next time I see one with a tow bar I will stick my head under it. I'm pretty sure it will have to bolt to the rear axle 😎
when you doing the injector seals mate?
Today fingers crossed🤞
Love the videos! Just wondering what you used to seal the aerial?
It clips in tight mate and seals itself 😎

Another good vid Dan 😎😎
Thanks Paul 😎
Need help fitting new radio mine has a tape player if you could do video that would be great
I will try and get one done next week. As I have an aftermarket one in my berlingo so can remove that and make a video :)
Forget rivets on motor try riv nuts work great can take on and off
I will have a look at them pal 👍
