dytkos 17,818 Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 I got the equivalent Peugeot Partner, they're shite, don't break down, just keep needing stuff doing to them, usually expensive! Cheers, D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers, D. Is it the escapade? I’m a mechanic to trade and work for a Citroen dealership so a bit method before my madness. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jiggy 3,209 Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 The old berlingo was one of very few citreons that didn't give trouble. The rest of them electrics failed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sussex 5,777 Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 A pal of mine bought an ex forestry 4x4 truck , looked fairly tidy but that ended up costing him a fortune . They do seem to work them to the limit , certainly the trucks .. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looking to get a berlingo van. You will probably get a better deal looking at the small adds in your local paper, as the second hand car market is dead on it's arse what with the poles flooding the market with cat D right off,s and everyone else buying new vans on tick there is a surplus of second hand motors around to choose from, maybe if you were after a unimog or something but for a standard van, I would,nt rush to the auction expecting a bargain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
terryd 8,547 Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 any thing that been rattled around forestry tracks will have taken a pounding and most of them drive like nutters lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
budgie123 163 Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 I looked at some ex forestry ford rangers they had certainly seen some work at a local garage he had an agent who sourced them at auction. He reported a good number chassis wise were too far gone. It is my understanding after speaking to a forestry commission manager involved in vehicle dispersal they all go to auction you cannot buy direct. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
