    We had one in the job. Can't remember the exact issue, but we ended up putting a "new" engine in it.

    The second engine was also a 1.5 dCI. and endless hassle. As I said though, don't know why we replaced the engine, so can't give too much info on that.

    From the few times I drove it, it wasn't the nicest. Slow as bejaysus. As in, you have to seriously plan any overtaking manoeuvres.

    Really the garage I am looking at has a berlingo same year and mileage on clock for the same price.was looking at the kangoo for its mpg really.

    put off by the fact you had to replace the engine!

    As I said, I'm not 100% why it was replaced, but I'll find out for you. Couldn't give you an mpg figure as I never had it long enough to work it out.

    I just didn't like the thing. But maybe others have been in one for long enough to give you more/ better advice.

    Get the bingo, kantgos are just hassle on many fronts and love shredding their timing belts for many and various reasons. Mechanics hate them and owners curse them. Bingos are far from perfect, but are more(if thats the right word) reliable and easier to work on. Just my own tuppence tho. Shouldn't be much in it on the economy front.
