Looking to get myself something to get the beta and kit upto the trials so was wondering if it would all fit in the back of an older stlye Citreon berlingo multispace.Looking around an 05 plate so if anyone has tried this is it possible please.

Cheers

I've had my Ty in the back of my old mans Pug Partner, that's the same as the Berlingo.

You sort of angle it in when the back seats are out.

The Hdi engines can be a little problematic, though many do mega mileage without too much agro, think some models have the multiplex wiring that can give trouble, older 1.9D's good, though cooling is suspect, 1.4 petrol is pretty hardy, not too powerful, but should hit a lower tax band.

I can recommend a Fiat Doblo - bike fits in without need to remove seats, just fold them up, in fact can get away with folding only single rear seat leaving room for three passengers. 1.9 diesel economical enough (55-60mpg in gentle running around).

i got a combo and my bike goes in diagonally.

i had a berlingo and my 240 fantic went in no problem diagnally,make sure you change the cambelt think they need doing at 84000 miles

Take out the double seat and you get one bike in. Take out both seats (a five minute job at most) and you get two bikes in. You really want to put something in the footwell though to prevent the wheel of the bike "sinking".

It is worth noting that Berlingos with the "Modutop" option (here's mine in the photos) have got roof lockers which reduce the height in the middle, and at the back. With mine, the handlebars would scrape the underside of the lockers when loading/unloading. That said, I think they are great, and as mentioned before, you can easily remove one or both rear seats to make even more room. I have shifted two bikes, with no problem.

Loads of info about them on here www.berlingoforum.co.uk

And the rear modutop is designed to be easily removed for just that situation - there's a tool to do it clipped in to the lid.

Or you can compress the forks with a strap before lifting the bike in - I did thta anyway with the old model.

New Peugeot partner easy! 1 bike in diagonally from back of drivers seat to back door can even get 2 in 1 bike in handle bars first going down the offside of the van as far to the side as possible then turn handle bars, other bike in backwards kind of a a angle from back of passenger side as far back as possible then turn handle bars easy all gear can fit in to! 2 bikes in 50mpg from 1,6 tdi
