Hi. I bought a berlingo (2001/51 600LX HDi) this week which had some issues. I have done the majority of the issues (spinning locks etc) but remain perplexed by the instrument panel. Initially it was the speedo and rev counter weren't working. I tried the BSI reset sequence several times and cleaned the earth points in the N/S footwell and the three on the N/S/F inner wing. After that all had no effect I read on and it was suggested to remove the binnacle and check the connections for deterioration. This done, clean as a whistle. The only thing that's different is the clock/milometer/trip counter now doesn't work either.
The speedo jumps up when you turn the ignition on and then does nothing. When you switch the ignition off the speedo slams down to its stop and occasionally there is a relay going berserk behind the dash. Other point is sometimes the engine management light comes on and forces the engine into limp mode. A restart fixes the engine management problem.
Other than these issues, cracking van!
Cheers in advance,
Mart.
