On the Berlingo, the BSI is built in to the indicator stalk. In Citroen speak it's called the "Comms 2000" unit, and costs a couple of hundred quid to replace.

My '05 'Lingo does the same. Right. New Bosch Blades it is then............

He flogged it unnecessarily. Neither that 2.0HDi, nor the two variants of the 1.6HDi currently available have a FAP, nor use Eolys fluid. The relatively detuned engine (even in 92bhp form) are Euro IV compliant without the need. The 110bhp engine needs them to remain Euro IV.

Mileman! Yes, I have this problem in my Dec.2005 1.6 HDi. The pedal bracket is cranked around the back of the brake pedal, and very heavy braking can cause the engine revs to rise. It's not the actual side of the throttle pedal thet you catch... Didn't have the problem in either my 2.0HDi or 1.8i

All Berlingo Forte SRs have this moulding. Without it, the roof is in danger of stripping itself off in the closed poition. The fact is, all Berligo SRs whistle a bit above 70. It's the price one pays for exclusivity, and at least bits don't fall off the sunroof! Welcome to the forum! TronX

Hello Macaw! Certainly my 55-reg 1.6 HDi hasn't got one, and none of the 2.0HDi versions had, so it's gonna be a very new one if they've bothered fitting them. Emissions from the 1.6HDi are low enough for cheapish road tax without a filter fitted. Service intervals are 12.5K miles and reasonably cheap to service if you DIY. The 1.9D is a tough old engine, but slowish and diiirrrty!

Funny.... I think you're right! Lovely colour for it tho!

Oooh! Nice!! Is it metallic red?

I have Conti Premium Contact 2s on the Lingo. Better in the wet than the Michies and handling's improved too, but wear is looking to be quicker.....

Six people in an Ami6 estate is Citroen abuse!

Word!! :blink:

Standard fluids all the way. Don't go near it with LHM!!!

Interesting thought.... I reckon that you could make up a cage-nut for the wheel centre, spray the 15" wheel in Gris Rosé and fit a 2CV type stainless embellisher. Would look great on a Pic' or an Iron Grey Berlingo!

The fact that the PL17 and 2CV both have air cooled flat twins is about as relevant as the fact that the Peugeot 504 and Citroen DS23 both have four cylinder water cooled OHV engines. There are no common parts at all, and Panhard had developed its 2-cyl. engine during the War, long before their initial tie-up with Citroen in 1955. Citroen didn't assume a controlling interest in Panhard until 1960. The bodywork of the PL17 was actually designed by the bloke who styled the Dyane, but they are hardly the same design are they? The GS has no similarity to the 2CV at all, except the sharing of an engine in the 2CV derived Ami Super. The GS motor is certainly not simply a 2CV engine with a cou[ple of extra pots. You'll be trying to tell me that the Alfasud or VW (spit!) Beetle is derived from the 2CV next!

Ren**lt's budget arm Dacia is to produce a cheap mpv version of it's highly unsafe Logan. http://www.autorevue.cz/Obrazky/2006/02unor/logan/1.jpg This is the ponced-up version, the basic version looks rather more Post Office than Off-Piste, but with a crash test as bad as this http://magazine.avtoindex.com/images/forum/2005/logan_crash_1.jpg here's one Logan you wouldn't run from..... Especially as there's a 7 seat version. Oof! It earned a tragic 2 NCAP stars. TronX

I reckon that kind of climate is what they were intended for.... A bit like the draughty, leaky old Mehari! I must say that I rather fancy spending a few K on an early Muriel as a bit of fun, but I don't think I'd rely on one for everyday driving unless it was an 04 reg or newer.

Sorry old bean, but the Panhards have little to do with the 2CV. The PL17 and successors had a flat twin aircooled engine, but that was where similarity ends. Even that had no common parts with the 2CV motor, being a far more advanced and ambitious 848cc unit with torsion bar valve springs and 60bhp as opposed to the Citroen's then 425cc with 18bhp. Some Panhards even had twin sparks per cylinder. The construction of the Panhard had nothing in common with the 2CV platform chassis and suspension either. It's even debatable that the 2CV had much to do with the evoultion of the GS either; the 4-cyl engine in the G-series had overhead cams and other differences. TronX

I love C15s!! Here's an article about the new Pug Expert and pic of the MPV version. Citroen Dispatch and Fiat Scudo versions also expected.

You're not wrong there! Witness the C15 http://www.2cauto.hu/images/modell/c15/main.jpg which started life in 1978 as the Visa! http://www.citroencarclub.org.uk/PostNuke/modules/ContentExpress/img_repository/visa-pig-340.jpg It's not only Citroen.... Remember the Austin Cambridge? http://www.co-oc.org/Green%20A55.gif ....which soldiered on in van form until 1971, until the replacement saloon ended its production run!

It's in the pipeline. The Dispatch/Scudo/Expert vans which debuted about the same time as the 'Lingo have just been replaced. We get them early next year. There will be very little fuss made over the launch of the new Berlingo, since it's a commercial vehicle. Multispace versions will probably follow the van rather than be released at the same time.

No recall except the suspension cups, but: 1) This happens. There's a sealant under the paint at the gutter, and it's softer than the paint. Nothing to worry about. 2) No experience with Modutop, all mine have been ESRs 3) The seats are fragile. The later car's seats (55-reg onwards) look better but are actually worse. 4) The speaker grilles are now attached differently. 05-reg and earlier have loose grilles. Use a dab of superglue not large enough to be a permanent fix.

Answers: 1) July/August 1996 2) No 3) No 4) June 1998 as a limited edition. It was available only as a 3-door 1.8i and came with colour coded bumpers and fittings, electric windows, stereo radio/cassette with security code, central locking, colour co-ordinated seats, carpets and seatbelts, full-length electric sunroof designed and made by Webasto (the largest they ever made) and a price tag of £12,999. All sold with no discounts. (interestingly an AA road test on my old car, S197 TYC, proclaimed £12,999 to be good value!) It was available in blue, green or red, all metallic colours. It was originally to be called the 'Fun Wagon' in the UK, but wisely adopted the French 'Multispace' moniker. After a short pause in production, the car was adopted into the mainstream range with a drop in price, a greater colour choice, grey bumpers and basic kit: No electrics, wind-up windows and a choice of petrol or 1.9D engines. All luxury equipment previously fitted became extra cost options, and ABS and air-con became available. In France a nearside rear sliding door became available, but this was never offered in the UK. The last 3-door UK cars were issued in 1999-W. TronX

Yeah... Rain-X is the shiznit.... but you have to remember to reapply often!

So do I, but the new one gains a Euro NCAP star, and later new ones have 4 airbags and ABS as standard. All safety kit except driver airbag was an option on the old shape.

20 years of 2CV driving means I'm a demon in the 'Lingo!
