• So I bought that Berlingo. Drives pretty well, although there are a couple of niggles I'll have to sort out as I have time/weather lets me (not least of all getting rid of the fucking smell of dogs in it). Knocked some money off the asking price and was thinking about using it to get a full service (although I'm also worried that will just result in bad news). Anyway, garages - much of a muchness or do people have reconsiderations?

    Or should I just wait until August and get it done with the MOT?

  • A once over check cannot hurt, especially if the service history is a bit sporadic. Find a local specialist if you can.

  • Congrats, what did you get? What engine? What history have you got? Oil change, filter won't hurt and maybe air filter. Brake fluid replacement and examine the brakes at the same time..Maybe a gearbox oil change and check when the cambelt was last done.

    Try and find a garage with the cit/pug obd software and not the generic as you can see what addons are not activated in the software ;)

    The dog smell takes a while but sprinkling bicarb and brushing it to the seat and carpet, then vacuuming it out works well.
