might of blown the head gasket on my astra   so am looking at a berlingo, does any one have one of these ana what are they like, i am wfp what tank can it take up to

[matt]

i have a berlingo multispace ( its the van with a row of seats that fold into themselves and take up very little space )

i liked the multispace as it has 2 side doors and a up and over rear door

a 400 L tank fits in it very nicely

[AuRavelling79]

I think there are 600kg payload and 800kg payload versions - but the dimensional size probably would make 400L the max you could carry without using a shoehorn.

Doblo (post 06 plate) can take 736kg but dimensionally you could go to 500L - IMHO.

Hi

You can fit a 500l upright baffelled tank in the last shape Berlingo no problem as we have done it. We fitted a 500l tank into my sons 800kg payload Peugeot Partner. The problem with small vans is finding a way to fit your poles in.

We used to have a Partner 1.9D with a 250ltr tank in it, useless, no power at all, it literally crawled up hills, if you go for one get the 2.0HDi version

my mate has one he has a 500 ltr tank in the back .

ive got a 99 plate berlingo with a 1.9d non turbo with around 190,000 miles on the clock its got a 250ltr baffled tank in and i carry 3 25ltr barrels occasionally. it also has 17" alloy wheels that slow it down a little. however i definatley rate these vans they are fantastic for a one or even two man system as you can fit 40 ft poles inside the van comfortably along with every thing else you would ever need on window cleaning jobs the only advice i would give is to go for a HDI model if possible because the payload is 200kg more and the power is significantly more. any questions feel free to ask im like a berlingo guru......

i have a 2.0 hdi berlingo and i couldnt really fault it until after christmas there i took one week off and while i was off the turbo  went in the van very very expensive to replace in fact i paid more than the van is worth to get it sorted which led to taking a further two weeks off work not impressed apart from that it broke two front springs which seem to be a fault in them but they arent that dear to replace, if i was looking a small van i think i would go for the ford connect

I bought a new one in 2003 and have given it a dogs life ever since. It had a recall from Citroen for the springs years ago and has never ever let me down. I have the non turbo model which was always meant to be the more reliable model,albeit slower. Same engine as in the C15's. Probably could get a really nice one for 2k ish.

[matt]

the non-turbo is the one to go for

yes it slightly underpowered thus slower, but you are not going to be racing it
