Discuss citroen berlingo as a electricians van? in the Electrical Tools and Products area at ElectriciansForums.net

I've got a berlingo. It's sluggish to drive and gives you a bad back stretching to reach your gear.

Wish I'd bought a connect with sliding door.
 
Ive got one, its good for round town, very nippy, (2.0 HDI) and good on fuel. bad points are, in 3 years its had a new starter, new exhaust, drivers door lock is bust, and it took theives about 2 minutes to pop the lock on the back doors, and clear out all my tools! the room in the back is ok, but not great.
 
so why don't we all get one of these?

fibreglass body, no rust, only 3 tyres to worry about. no expensive electronic crap to go wrong

... And it's a classic so you could probably get cheaper insurance.
That said, Reliant Regal vans seem to command a high price due to the 'Del Boy' effect. (It was a Regal, not a Robin.)

hello,

I dont know which model Berlingo your after specifically but I have a new shape one from work with n/s sliding door. Had bout 5months and its racked up 12k miles and so far it's not let me down, event through all the terrible weather we had. Was not the best performer in the snow with regards to getting up even small banks but slow and steady eventually found grip.
I find the space in the back is adequate for what I do. I have the 3 seats up front and the far left drops flat to floor and allows 3mtr lengths which is handy. Although does get a bit cramped with 3 people in there (or cosy depending which way your feeling :) )
erm....storage up front is plentyful but I find limited for certain things eg over head storage doesnt seem to hold my folders very well. Cup holders in the door pockets are ridiculous they shouldnt have bothered with them!!! Glove box is that only, its literally a glove box and nothing else.
I find mpg is quite poor but then as it's not mine I do hammer it everywhere, legally of course :rolleyes:
comfy enough to drive and is nippy enough but its not a rocket

dear me thats a long post :confused: anyways hope it helps

(p.s I did tell my gaffer to buy a connect but too expensive apparently)

To be fair he did not say he had it from NEW for 2 years.

As you have found out, Transporters are damned good!
