Love the berlingo! And it came with the roof bars

Another handy thing is you get an allen key and the roof bars swing to the horizontal position if you want them that way round (it's a diesel 1.6hdi 08 plate)

Plenty of clearance from the roof.  I also got the roof bars to fit the rails, really strong grip on them

loads of lovely campy room!

even get a free trolley in the boot..

with the side bars on

We have one, and much to my surprise I really like it. Ours is an 03 plate 2.0HDi. I'd recommend a Forte edition as this seems to come with the Modutop - storage lockers overhead which are useful for bits & pieces. We keep the kids' DS consoles, all the associated chargers, cameras etc in them.

Just a word of warning - the roofbars don't always fit roofboxes as they are quite far apart. Fortunately you can just fit a Halfords 340 roofbox in the boot without putting the seats down...

Ahhh this thread has made me feel very nostalgic for my beautiful red diesel berlingo - It was an original model on a T plate and I got it when there were very few on the road- everyone laughed at me until they had a ride in it - the space was vast and we moved all manner of things with it. I have no hesitation in recommending this car to anyone who needs room and good value for money excellent for a camping car.  I truely believe I will never have so much affection for a car ever again. I sold it as my husband got a company car and we chose a Citroen C4 grand picasso. This car is also very good but somehow not the same:(

My berlingo had a full length electric sunroof so we never used a roof rack or box but with the vast boot space we always fitted things in. The tail gate is a very handy  rain shelter when raised.
