Oxymoron

Hi, The Desire spec seemed to be the ideal one for me, as it has the manual aircon, cd player, foglights, armrests etc., which I had on my Berlingo Desire.The Exclusive model seems relatively rare and has gadgets which I don't really need too. I'm gradually adjusting my driving style to suit the low reving diesel engine, having not driven one for about 15 years......And having adjusted the slack out of throttle cable, it's performing quite well too! I don't know if the mpg readout is accurate, but it's much more economical then the Berlingo as well! Cheerz.

Hi, It's a 2.0hdi Desire 2 model....I could have gone for a newer 1.6 hdi and even considered getting a pre-reg. VTX or Desire model, but decided to just get a slightly newer reg than the Berlingo, but with a lower mileage.....At 18.5k miles it's barely run in yet! The money I've saved will go towards replacing my Nissan 300ZX, which I sold before Xmas. Cheerz. :angry:

Hi, I didn't get as much as I would have liked for my Berlingo, but then if I had sold it privately, it's mot was due this month and it needed new front tyres, dics and pads.Also I would have had to replace the windscreen, as it had a couple of large stone chips! Another Citroen dealer offered me about £500 more in part exchange, but his car was about £1k more anyway!?? You must drive with a very light foot, as the best I ever got from my car was 34mpg!...often it would dip under 30mpg! :) The Picasso hasn't the personality of the Multispace or as much storage space inside, but it drives quite well and it's nice to have a change after 4 years! Cheerz. :(

Hi, Well the Berliingo was coming up to 4 years old and 57k miles, so I decided to trade it in for a used Xsara Picasso 2.0 HDi with 18.5k miles on the clock. The Berlingo was a faithful workhorse, which never let us down, so I was sorry to see it go, but my daily commute was getting too expensive with the petrol engine! Might return to the Berlingo fold when the new model is fully on stream and they're offering the usual discount incentives! Cheerz :(

Hi, I drove through a particularly deep puddle in my Blingo and it resulted in the fasteners which hold the wheel arch trims in place, disappearing, so the trims were loose....But you said you've checked them? It is possible to damage your catalytic converter if your exhaust is hot and you give it a sudden drenching in cold water!...I did this to a Vauxhall hire car once and the result was a horrible noise from under the car afterwards, which I negated to mention on return of the vehicle!:P

Hi, We've taken our Berlingo to France for a couple of fortnight holidays and although we haven't really driven at night, we have driven in the early morning and evening light and during rain storms, without using headlamp bean deflectors. I simply adjust the headlights down to their lowest setting and have never been flashed by on coming drivers at all!...I think most drivers assume you're French anyway, driving a Berlingo! :rolleyes:

On the contrary, both we and our in-laws bought new Berlingos at about the same time in 2004 and haven't had any real problems. The only fault when our car was still quite new, was the dipped/main beam switch failed and it was subsequently replaced under warranty, without question! Cheerz :angry:

Hi, Good find!...Any news on UK prices yet????

Quite like the look of the new Blingo, but the sliding door runner arrangement could have been a bit neater...Now looks like a cross between a Kangoo and a Roomster from the side! The way that the door runner slides under the side glass on the current car is a very clever visual touch! Cheerz :blink:

Hi, They will need to keep the prices reasonably low, or the Berlingo will lose it's value for money appeal! If they're going to run the old model alongside, like they have with the Xsara Picasso, then that makes me think that the new prices will be a fair bit higher! Cheerz. :blink:

Hi, That's the same as the new Citroen Nemo....A smaller vehicle than the new Berlingo! Cheerz. :rolleyes:

Hi, Sounds like the comms 2000 unit needs replacing....A similar thing happened to my car. If you're still under warranty then Citroen will replace it, otherwise you're looking at some expense! Cheerz.

Front Quarterlights?

Hi, Just found these photos too!...... http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/3732/ber1ak4.jpg http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/2360/ber2cv7.jpg

NOPE!....Ask a C5 owner!??? :(

Hi, I don't see the point in panoramic roofs....Unless you drive everywhere staring into space???? :lol: I prefer my modutop roof with it's small windows to let in more light and all the storage area bins! Don't think we'll be bothering with a Nemo either as it looks piggin' ugly! Cheerz. :blink:

Hi, Could be the comms 2000 unit?....It's the box under the steering wheel that the indicator and lights stalks are attached to! Mine went haywire and I lost dipped beam....some owners have erratic indicators and the wipers could be affected too. Cheerz.

HI, I replaced the rear wiper arm on my Berlingo, after I broke the end clip which holds the blade in place....I had to resort to my trusty bearing puller to remove the old wiper arm, as it was stuck fast on it's spline! The replacement arm only cost £7.67 including vat from Citroen, so at least it wasn't an expensive job. Cheerz, :blink:

Hi, I read somewhere that the Nemo/Bipper/Fiorino was to replace the Berlingo/Partner/Doblo....But elsewhere it said that it was based on the much smaller Fiat Panda platform and was to be positioned below the Doblo/Partner/Berlingo ranges!? The spyshots do look like the Nemo/Bipper/Fiorino though! Cheerz. :rolleyes:

A very Berlingoesque style interior too!..... http://www.citroen.com/NR/rdonlyres/1DB11239-4760-429F-BCC6-D2D81D844F8F/168821/07134025.jpg

Hi, Do you think that the Berlingo will look a bit like a larger version of the Citroen Nemo? http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2007/10/041007citc.jpg

Hi, We were wondering about the new model too, as our car is now 3.5 years old and I have thought about selling it soon. Saw some spy shots and video footage a while back, but haven't seen anything recently! Cheerz. :rolleyes:

Hi, There's a shop on Ebay which sells the Berlingo 1.4 back box for £25.99 plus £10.99 postage..... Ebay...Berlingo rear silencer Cheerz. ;)

Hi, I would imagine that it would be a straight swap over?....I recently drove a works van with the storage space and thought it was a shame that my car couldn't have the same cubby hole! Why not unscrew it and have a look behind? Cheerz. :D

Hi, If it's the Airbag warning light then I would imagine that you will need to visit a Citroen Dealer or independent specialist in order for them to check it out! Cheerz. :D
