Advisory on last MOT
Advisory notice item(s) front Brake pad(s) wearing thin (3.5.1g) nearside front brake disc worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened (3.5.1i) offside front brake disc worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened (3.5.1i)
Mainly because I know nothing about moderns.
Is this something thats an easy home driveway fix or do they have impossibly built or access brake parts.
This whole thing really has to be on a very tight budget.
(Ask me about 50 year old trucks)

For me it has to run 15" Mondeo steelies painted white. Heavily tinted rear window and rear sides. Simple and cheap tip transport.

(Ask me about 50 year old trucks) I did discs and pads twice on mine. O don't remember any issues with discs, simple swap. Pads are simple too but they can be a pain to get into the calipers with the silly retainer design. No biggie though. I did the brakes and all the balljoints drop links and bottom arm bushes at the side of the road with standard tools. Cheap parts too.

They should be nice and simple to do! Wheels off, two bolts for the caliper carrier and then you should be able to get the disc off the hub then pads out and reverse the process. For wheels, 205 speedlines, the third ones in the photo above, can be had for peanuts! alternatively, the white painted steels would look cool too! If you need a hand/advice on it pm me. I have the unfortunate affliction of liking the Peugeot 106 chassis (the berlingo brakes can be bolted straight on to them) So have rough knowledge on them. As pointed out the engine and I think gearbox are also shared, along with the basic suspension design, theres a guy in Dorking SUrrey that does all kinds of work for a reasonable cost too. www.krisb.co.uk/ Edit: found a video on the tube of you, with quite good shots of the various bolts and screw that need removing

Have I mentioned I love this forum? This is exactly why...... Loads of knowledge that gets shared and ideas, advice and opinions which I love. Thank you JoshO and VW for your replies. They make me feel a lot safer in the knowledge that I should be able to maintain or repair bits to it with my limited knowledge and skills mechanically. More craziness. I have also called AIB on 02380268351 and got a first quote of £420.00 per year comp. (As recommended by MercDan) Then they sharpened their pencils a bit more and £372.00 per year through Marker Study. Same people who did my truck before. Getting closer to where I would feel comfortable. Unfortunately this is just a utilitarian Bland-mobile, so it still has insurance value despite 3k miles limited use per year. I really would have liked it a lot lower, but company car and various employers the last few years make it a bit more awkward. I will look around a bit more.

Ford wheels on a Cit/Pug will need minimum of 20mm spacers, spigots and longer bolts.
Check ebay, now and again 16v conversions popup. Or buy a rotten Saxo VTS and drop the engine in, only take a day or so

make sure that the insurers know its a multispace not a van, I believe that may help with the insurance.

I'll admit that my first instincts were to suggest lowering it with airbags but then somebody else mentioned creating a faux 4x4, I instantly thought of:- There's your inspiration, get to it!

The Berlingo is actually a partial related successor to the Simca, so that's quite perfect!

Sad git mode selected!! Do you need a berlingo? Might the time and cost of, buying, insuring, servicing and modifying be better spent on your pickup? OR Grinder, welder a skim of filler and you have a berlingo pickup Ttfn Glenn Ps, why only insure for 3000 miles?

OR Grinder, welder a skim of filler and you have a berlingo pickup Ttfn Glenn Ps, why only insure for 3000 miles? Glenn, I think the answer to all your questions are/is "No" No. I do not need it. No. £850.00 not best spent on Chevy rebuild. (Has its own savings account and mostly needs labour now) OR No. Grind cut filler fail Why 3000 miles? I have a company car for most of my daily needs. This will be a toy and random tool. If I went to a pub every evening for even just a pint and a pack of fags, and some crisps we see £15/day spent. Over 365 days that is £5475.00 Cutting that right down to small bite sized chunks. At £15.00 per week you get 57 weeks. Or £2.30 per day..... my Costa coffee costs me more than that. If I were to rename this little car, it would be Prozac for the soul. I just need a bit of feelgood right now.

Perfectly understood. My Prozac for the soul is my recently purchased T4 Couple of times I have looked at berlingos, very practical vehicles. Once hired a 1.2 Peugeot version to trundle from Scotland to Somerset, a 800 mile round trip, competent little busses. Just always needed the next size up, that's the only reason I didn't get one in the past. Currently my daily drive is a little 107 and the fun to be had and the ease of parking small cars gives a very high smiles to the miles ratio Ttfn Glenn

You know I bought the Focus rather than the C Class Benz or 320 SE that I qualify for as I love the size around London. I cannot however load a pile of wood into it, or move carparts in it. So if I do buy this Multispace thing, it will need a ply floor once I remove the rear seats and then I really would love a set of this 205 alloys, or some nice holey steels.

I had one of those things as a work van when they were about four years old, it was terrible! It was gutless, but it had a massive cargo bay, but of course loading it up with tools etc made its lack of power far worse! As I remember it also wasn't very pleasant to drive, and after driving for a couple of hours I used to find the seats extremely uncomfortable. The more I think about that van the more I think that it had absolutely no redeeming features at all. That is until I sold the damn thing and replaced it with a Renault kangoo, that was far worse, and I wished I'd kept the berlingo lol.
