Mike, I guess you know the Berlingo so well now that like me and the Xantia BoL, you no longer need it ;)

In fact you possibly know much more than the BoL does anyway...

Very true Jim! I think in all the years I've had the manual, which was given to me by DickieG, I've only used it for the torque settings for the wishbone and ball joint!

The Berlingo is for sale anyway now, it's served it's purpose. We will keep the 207 though if I can solve the oil leak.

I might take you up on that. It's about time I popped up to say hello anyway. I should do it sooner than later as I may well be working 9-5 again in a week or so!

The berlingo is sitting forlongly with a flat tyre. Its one of the knackered tyres, and the wheel too so the 17" wolfies will have to go on tomorrow. This has meant that I have had to use a different car for work this evening, and the 107 is not here, the skoda is but key isn't. That has meant a pug has had to do deliveries [emoji35] Just as well it has been quiet and not much doing. Another hour and 3/4 to go, I hope no one else is hungry, or if they are they are not lazy lolImageImage

I think the one on the front right looks as it lived under the back floor for a long time! The spare is in the back and is still nearly silver but no tread on it. Apart from the wheels it's not bad nick for 2006 van with 145k under it's wheels. Different wheels will improve it considerably.

Like the north coast of Scotland ?, all on the coast up there as inland is mountains, peat bogs, midges and roaming killer Haggis (and the occasional mad red-head throwing telegraph poles at you to the sound of a cat being disembowelled)
