The Berlingo is so French it doesn’t care what any of us may think! For a French design it’s very understated, I got to say I do like it. My daughter studied for a year in Argentina and told me though they speak Spanish, they want to be French so badily, the French cars were everywhere the Berlingo was very popular there. Her first taxi ride there was in a Berlingo diesel with a manual transmission and a heavy smoking very animated driver that battled Buenos Aries traffic quite bravely and enthusiastically ringing every horsepower out of the tiny diesel engine while shifting blowing the horn smoking and communicating with other drivers with a torrent of sign language! We were so glad to get her home safe!
I owned a Citroen ZX Avantage 3 door with the same engine from new in 1993 to 2007 and personally drove it 248k miles, the engine never developed any faults in that time.
Lived in France for 15 years. Returned to UK in 2015. Big mistake. The 1900 cc engine is common in a number of Citröen vehicles and the average rural Frenchman swore by their reliability and often treated them badly.
there is one ZX Avantage left that's still on the road. Ended up in my village a few weeks back, saw it once without a picture. miffed
It’s still a better,and more practical car than most on sale today. I’d have one in a heartbeat 👍
I can confirm the practicality of the Berlingo, I've had my 2012 1.6 diesel for 10 years.
With the back seat down it can tackle jobs where you'd otherwise have to hire a van.
If i sold it today I could recoup a large percentage of the £8000 I paid for it. Only I wont ever let it go.
Matt, I'm sure you'll get comments saying this car is rubbish or underpowered or whatever but it doesn't matter. Your enthusiasm is infectious and I can't wait to see the rust to Rome trip.
0 to 60 in the same months ..but will still be running when your electric car has run out of charge 😅
I won't do the "0-60" today as I forgot my calendar.

Hahahahahah I’ve not heard this joke about EVs before. 😂 👏 can I steal this?
@@S4MM7ifyno
@@S4MM7ify of course you may
The fondness you have for this car had me grinning all video. Really excited for this trip, I’m sure it will be wonderful
Thanks! You can’t explain it sometimes
@@HighPeakAutosCitroen Berlingos do have a certain "Je ne sais pas pourquoi"! 😅
I have always liked the Berlingo, it is a great family load lugged, so versatile. I am a really looking forward to the Rome trip. We have had a couple of Citroen ZX’s, both none turbo, they were great cars and I got good money for them when I moved them on. I also serviced them myself since they were so easy to do, saving a mint on dealer service costs! Cars are too complicated now🤔
Nice Berlingo, tons of space ❤️
I was a Renault Kangoo fan 1.5 turbo it did 265 k miles and back and forward from Spain never missed a beat
My parents had one of the first ones, it lasted over a decade, over 300000km in calendula red. It got loaded with literal tons of stones, 5 dogs at once and done multiple 1000km+ trips. Very good cars... Oh also me and my sister we had Plenty of space to play in the floor of the seats while driving
One of Citroën’s finest. 😎 My friend James is Assistant Editor of Practical Classics car magazine and he’s saved quite a few Berlingo’s from the jaws of the crusher and currently runs around in a MK 1 Berlingo when he’s not using his 2CV daily.
You can give the man the world......but a gentleman they never forgets where they started....the joy in your voice is refreshing 😉
Exactly! Good point
On our second Berlingo. First one was 20 years old and still going strong. Have other cars but the Berlingo does so many things well I would be the one to keep.
I love your enthusiasm for this car. Had a similar experience with a lada riva estate in the 1980s. I just loved its honest simplicity.
lol, new matts reg plates and a mini valet! Standard operating procedures at High Peak! 😎😉
What about buffing the lights?
@@geoffwilson9127 knew I’d forgotten one!
No the Matt we have will do just fine thanks 😂
I had a 92 Peugot 405 GLD estate with same engine in it. It was driven hard for 300k ...oil changed every 5k and never let me down. At every mot the emissions were at the lowest level. 30 years ago I was in my mid twenties and the plate ended in Gus....it was affectionately known as gusset 😂😂
Hilarious. You seem happier driving this than your AMG Merc. Maybe take a calendar when doing your 0-60 test
Secretly I am. I felt a bit superficial in the AMG… good riddance anyway 😂
@@HighPeakAutos Matt, you've officially arrived at full manhood (ooh matron).
Welcome to the club. Car nerd and proud.
I see a collab with Hubnut incoming 😂😂
I owned an old '93 ZX estate with the exact same engine. I sold it to a young lady for just pennies. The car had north of 500k kilometres on the clock and no problems at all. This engine is a real peach. It can probably run for another 20 years and will not miss a beat.
This brought back some memories. I used to drive a Bellingo, and I loved it. I felt like the king of the road. Yours will be perfect for your trip to Rome.
Thanks a ton for putting the subtitles when your brother speaks. Appreciate it.
4:37 Thought you were going say you needed to find out who MOT'd it and report them!!! 😂😂😂😂
Your love for this little van is infectious! Sometimes you cant beat a bit of nostalgia 😊 no one can take those memories away. Enjoy! Cant wait to see the rust to rome trip!
Love Berlingos. I had one of those Mk1 M49s for 15 years. Never let me down, just a broken clutch cable. Used it for work, leisure, back and forward to Ireland. Mine was a 1.6 petrol so a bit more lively. It was great. Now got a later Berlingo like the one in your video from a few months back. Really looking forward to all your updates with this.
The campers sticker - someone used a BootJump in there for camping in... Look it up. And the fin is a surfboard fin..
Love this, great to see you genuinely happy in the Berlingo. Looking forward to seeing your adventures in it.
Can't wait!
Great video Matt. This car already has sooo much character. Can’t wait for more.
Cracking find, mate! Proper "only-in-Britain" special this Berlingo. Looks like a right laugh, from the dodgy MOT to the missing speaker cover (eBay sorted, genius!). Love the fact you've already got a mental list of jobs for it - that's the beauty of these old motors, you can tinker and improve them yourself.
Nice too hear a few stories about you .
Good luck with the berlingo , sure it will all be good .
Cracking! I've had an 06 Partner with the same engine for the last 10years. I've used it daily for work and it's only let me down for wear and tear. My locks are the same too😁😁
They are great little vans. I had the 1.9 non turbo. Did over 200,000 miles still running perfectly when I sold it on.
My parents had a same generation Peugeot Partner in red, absolutely LOVED that car.
I enjoyed this so much. The smile on your face as you remembered your first experiences with one. This reminded me of my 1973 Peugeot 304. The only thing holding it together was rust.
That’s what it’s all about :)
Matt I wish you all the best of luck with this Berlingo 👍
Love the Belingo, I too had one as a works van.
Great handling whilst being comfortable.
The 2.0 hdi is the one to have.
Totally with you when it comes to the Berlingo and Multispace
Love the relationship between you and your brothers this is such an uplifting lighthearted video. The none turbo 1.9 format is such a great idea, uncomplicated and functional I think you’re right it will outlive many of the newer 1.5 turbo jobs in modern vans - great video Matt!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love it they are reliable cheap to run its only going to cost you about £50 in diesel to get to Rome and back lol can't wait to see the video thanks Matt enjoyed it as always
Never been a French car fan but that thing just so practical with endless uses , I'm sure you're gonna have fun with it 👍
That interior 👌 that's a keeper Matt 👍
They are great little workhorses , did 100k around the UK and France early 2000s..
It's amazing to see so many positive reactions towards this Berlingo! I myself drive a 2012 Fiat Doblo Passenger van. Have to say it is really good.
1.4 Turbo petrol chipped to about 130BHP, 6 speed manual, airco with auto climate control, electric windows all of them, armrest, heated seats upfront.
Did you know the Doblo has actually the most room inside of this type of car? (Berlingo, Caddy, Kangoo)
Also it is certified to be loaden to a 1000 kg which is a great deal more than the others which have a capacity of around 650 kg.
I'm looking forward to your next Berlingo upload!s
Lost count how many of these I’ve serviced over the years,all serviced this will get you to Rome without a shadow of a doubt and back ,very reliable indeed,the non turbos were always the sweet spot ,I even preferred these to the HDI,looking forward to the journey👍
Loved this Matt! And your brother is a great addition, smoking cigarettes like it’s 1996😂
Based on the ZX/Peugeot 306 platform and the both handled really well… had passive rear wheel steering!
Had a bit of a shock when you mentioned today's sponsor and an advert with Stacey Solomon came on! Great video as always. I too love the original Berlingo/Partner. I used them at work for years.
The banter between you and your brother is great. Your like a big kid in a sweet shop with this car. Looking forward to the progress on this one.
Thanks 👍
We had one of the first ones, a x reg 1.8i and it was a great wee thing
Excellent video. Don't forget matching wheel trims popular with disabled people. l quite like it good all-around utility vehicle a good vallet and all little jobs you identified it will bring back fond memories 😀
Absolutely love it! Doing the Rust to Rome in that will be brilliant 👍
Great video. Can't wait to see the whole journey with it. I had one of these as a hire car in Spain on a family holiday. Funnily enough it was in Estepona and we drove from Malaga airport. Fitted 5 of us in easily with all our luggage. Also I've never seen someone look so pleased with themselves after making rump steak and cheesey mash 😂 keep up the good work.
I had a berlingo work van for a couple of years and it was a belter!
My Dad had one bought it new in 2001, it was the perfect vehicle for a retired farmer with an allotment. It had a couple of issues with broken springs at the front but otherwise it was great.
Love your sense of humour Matt. Very entertaining and cool!
Thanks
You can really see the affection you have for the little bus ...recon your going to really enjoy your trip to Rome....🙏🙏🙏
Can't wait!
@@HighPeakAutos why Rome tho ?....are you planning to see the governor 🤣🤣🙏🙏🙏
I absolutely love it! ❤
I need to find myself a mk1 Multispace
Love a Berlingo. I had the 110bhp 1.6 petrol which had no problem keeping up with traffic, although it was a little thirsty. That 1.9 is super reliable (coolant leak excepted), and will do galactic mileage on a tank of fuel. Ideal car for lugging stuff around.
Nice , I had a new 305 van with that engine and 5 speed box in the 80s . Loved it and it was quick in comparison to the Astra and Escorts of the time . Oh and quieter too . Although Vauxhall and Ford stepped their game up with the 1700 and 1800 respectively
I had one of the first vans for my job when they came out. P reg. Loved it. Checked about 5 years ago, and it was still on the road. Mutispace would be ideal for me to do the NC500 for a bit of wild camping in thinking about it, mmmm.
It's a great little car, go forever if given a bit of love. Incredibly practical. The 1.9 was the first I had about 12 years ago now, loved it.
Love it Matt😀 good luck👍🏻
No air con but open those rear quarter lights. As long as you have decent dash vents you will get a good flow through while travelling. It worked for me with an old-style Panda anyway.
Ive got a 2006 petrol version for bombing around in Tenerife. Its perfect for lugging stuff without the worry of others bump parking every panel
I went to the Isle of Skye a couple of years ago and these things were everywhere. Practical, reliable if looked after and dirt cheap to run.
Had this engine in a Pug 206, as a school car. Solid, reliable, and 49mpg however you drove it. Not quick, but would exceed the speed limit by a considerable margin. Had a Mk II Berlingo as a works van. Never a problem in 4 years stop-start driving.
I love it. I too like old crocs. Bangernomics. Car derived vans. Predating many an MPV. And two tone bright cloth trim !!!!! She sounds great. Proper car. Radio cassette and Blackburn MOT apart. This was your best vid yet. Know the key. The way the car picks up blind. Did nothing wrong in their day or now. Sadly most now much much much worse painters vans and buiilders vans.
I love the fact that you used subtitles for your brother
It's soo funny. However his accent sometimes is really hard to understand😂.
Its a slightly redesigned XUD engine. The ancillery belt can break up and cause cambelt to jump teeth. But long as its kept on top of its a brilliant unit. Its not quick but they do generally run forever with maintenance kept on top of.
Forte spec! Thats a blast from the past, reminds me of the Saxos. Happier days 😊
Great little motor NUFF SAID
I have a 1.6 petrol on an 06 plate with 36000 miles from new it’s brilliant never missed a beat.
Brilliant car. My late father had one and he loved it. The Citroen dealer in Sale offered him any model he had in stock ( for the one price). Typical of my dad he deliberately chose a silver one without electronic windows or doors and without roof boxes etc. After he died I continued to use it and it never let him or me down. You can load it up with people, stuff, or both and it will work its socks off. Looking forward to your roadtrip.
Your comment re nice plates on ancient cars reminded me of the old dear in our local village who drove a hearing aid beige mkI metro with the plate 'C3' on it. Often wondered what became of both.
Oh wow!
Very reliable I’ve still got an old belingo van & it just keeps on going 20 years in service.
I agree with you it's a great car/van, I think you should jazz it up obs with a new radio/cd and maybe a tasty set of alloys umm defo food for thought 👍
Matt, good to see you with a big cheesy grin, know where your coming from, feel the same way here about my old army landy, it's just smiles per miles ☺️
Great video, i suppose if you wher to keep the Berlingo after going to Rome it could be used for the High Peak Property side as well
My brother had the peugot version he loved it 🤗 it was a very practical daily driver and he mooved house twice with it such a practical car/van
That Berlingo is the new 4! Love it!
That car is utterly cool, proper French workhorse from when they made rugged cars. And that fin is off a paddle board.
I love these things also, I’m the same age as matt, we did upgrade to the 2.0 hdi in about 2007 it blew my mind how much more power it had,
We still have it as farm van
So funny to see how excited Matt was about this car - brilliant! 😂
Haha thanks
I do like a Berlingo. Haven't seen you so enthused for a while.
I have its sister car the Peugeot Partner. Identical to the Berlingo apart from badges and a few trim details. Had it from new and it's just clicked over the 440,000km mark - 275,000 miles. It's a 2006 model so the newer dash and 1.6HDi 90 DOHC engine. Yes, it did blow a turbo at around 200,000km but it was a lot cheaper to replace at €1,000 than a replacement car and it's been fine ever since. All due to carbon buildup in the oil pickup gauze, according to my mechanic. Otherwise I've done most of its servicing myself and its generally an easy car to work on. Very frugal - tested it the other day and it still gets 5l/100km (56mpg) - same as when new. And it's a lot more refined than the 1.9 and with much better pickup. Very drivable engine and much better than its 2.0HDi predecessor.
It's been brilliant. Perfect for everything we do - family when the kids were still at home, school, shopping, camping, skiing, mountain biking, trips to the UK, Spain, Portugal, all over Europe. We have a place in the high Pyrenees which we go to regularly so we do a lot of that. And my wife's a fencing instructor so loads up the car with sabres, epées, foils and masks most days. Bought a fridge freezer for our daughter last weekend. Loaded it straight into the back and drove it across the country to Lyon. It's taken washing machines and dishwashers upright so not having to worry about dodgy sometime-between-9am-and-6pm deliveries.
Because it's essentially a van, a lot of the components are more robust than a normal car. I've never had to change any shocks, suspension or steering components - all original. It did fail its controle technique (French equivalent of the MOT) 18 months ago and needed a new DPF. But it's started smoking a little again on hard acceleration so might fail again later this year. Still it'll probably be worth trying to fix it rather than scrapping it. As long as it remains reliable. Have had my eye on the Rifter as a direct replacement for the last few years but this one refuses to die! Long may it continue.
It was used as a camper van, that is why, Matt, very common to do. Great car, very practical, generally reliable, and will go on forever at low cost and take your family, bike, dog, elephant without fuss. You know you are safe when you choose a car like this, noone will ever steal it. Manual everything- less to go wrong. 20+ years old- it is the way to save the planet. Great car. Other thought, perhaps, given your enjoyment of this you should have chosen a FIAT Qubo for a trip to Italy. BTW Might be worth rethinking the Himmler haircut (Google images) styling, even though it is very fashionable.
Loving Mats Bonski beat haircut

Absolutely loved this video - how to make rubbish car sound like a dream! Your my favourite 'garage and car' man, keep 'em coming 🤗🤗
Thanks! Will do!
Great car sooo practical and cheap to run, as you say what’s not to like 👍🏻
This was fantastic Matt, good fun to watch. BRING ON ROME!
I had a Berlingo a couple of years back , it was a really early EV from the 90s .
My dad had the Peugeot, equivalent partner 1.9 no turbo diesel. He bought it new in around 2003/4. His was top spec. and it was, like you say, quite a decent vehicle.
Love a Berlingo. There is something enduringly cool about a car that’s so utterly unpretentious with honest design principles and practicality. Couple all that with some French flair, comfort and reliability and it’s easy to see why the Berlingo has such a dedicated following.
I agree
Brilliant video Matt,you were like a kid at xmas
I love how cars can have this inexplicable link to us sometimes no matter what brand or age - I think its often fond memories as evidenced very clearly by Matt here!
That’s right
Hi Matt I’m a long time watcher of your videos, two years ago I bought a 2006 Peugeot partner (same as the berlingo) escapade to convert into a micro camper, I drove to South Wales from West Yorkshire to collect her and fell in love with her instantly, her name is Patricia and over the last two years she has taken me my partner and our dog allover the country. Patricia is lovely to drive and never let me down, a few weeks ago there was a drain with the cover missing and it broke her steering rack and a few other parts, I had the option of spending 1000 pound to fix her or to let her go, I chose to spend half of what she is worth and keep her, she is mechanically sound and always passes her MOT’s with no advisories, thanks to watching you I decided to spend the money so we can have more adventures 🥰
The xud 1.9 engine with a turbo was one of the best ever made, i had a few xantias 405s etc no issues
I had a 1999 Berlingo I bought for £500 as a stop gap and but kept it for years. It was so practical great for walking the dogs and transporting the mountain bikes without removing any wheels. Mine had the vinyl electric roof so it was a proper mobile skip in the summer! I secrectly have a look at Berlingos on autotrader every now and then🤣.
I had a 2.0 HDI van for a long time, before that two 1.9D vans and now still a 2.0HDI Romahome. The red 2.0HDI was great, I had it on white 106 Rallye rims. I also briefly had a same era Partner with a 1.6 16v petrol but that was not nearly as pleasant as the Diesel vans, despite being the car version. Enjoy your Berlingo!
Look like the load compartment side trims were missing too
The XUD is an excellent engine, I think I know the coolant pipe that's leaking as my BX did the same.
Get some mk1 Saxo alloys.
My 25 year old Berlingo van is still going strong. Owned it for 17 years. It sometimes sits for a month at a time but always starts instantly. 1.9 DW8 engine will go on forever if you change the oil often. Who cares what the 0-60 time is.
I had a 09 plate Berlingo XTR spec, Lovely useful car. Miss it a lot if I'm honest.
