Not strictly peugeots but anyone know anything about berlingos? The handshake light is on constantly and the stop light is flashing
fluids all look alright, got a slight leak from the rad pipe but wouldn't have thought that would be the cause ?
RE: the ugly cousin.. - Ed Doe - 22-08-2012
Have you tried stopping shaking hands with it? Might sort that light out...
Sounds like an issue to me... :S Might have an airlock..
RE: the ugly cousin.. - samass - 22-08-2012
handshake light?
not a firm enough grip?
RE: the ugly cousin.. - Ed Doe - 22-08-2012
Haha F*ck you Sam, you and your ass! I got there first with the OT post
RE: the ugly cousin.. - rocker8742 - 22-08-2012
Damn auto correct
also forgot to say it feels like there are no brakes at all think Its in desperate need of new pads, but iirc there aren't pad sensors on these ? Its a 57 plate btw

Rear drums, remove drums and check cylinders for leaks.
RE: the ugly cousin.. - Skank_army - 22-08-2012
I has a berlingo
is it the same hdi lump as the 306? The brakes are great on mine! Especially the handbrake. ^^ what niall says and also check the brake compensator hasn't seized.
RE: the ugly cousin.. - darrenjlobb - 22-08-2012
Either brake fluid level or ebrake switch not working, try shorting the switch manually...

IIRC wernt the 1st belingos. Built on a 306 platform? If so are the new ones still using the same floor pan?
Unrelated i know but alot of parts were the same as the 306 espesh the 1.9 NAD . May help in your quest?

No idea mate, mine is an 03 plate, so Ph2? I know its a 92 bhp hdi lump... like the 306 hdi? Not that i'm thinking of ninja mods for it or anything........
Aha!!! I can confirm, that it is a DW10TD RHY lump. Interesting.... there is a bloke on TDocuk that has one running 147bhp/337nm

They were built on a 306 floor pan until the latest one came out
RE: the ugly cousin.. - Pete - 22-08-2012
Yep, M49 and M52 models have a 306 platform
I'm running 306 coilovers on mine. The only problem is the HDI's have Siemens ECU thats not as easy to map as the Bosch's. Desperate to get mine mapped, feels bloody sllloooowwww when fully loaded (which is 90% of the time lol)The OP's symtoms point to a brake fluid leak to me?
RE: the ugly cousin.. - rocker8742 - 23-08-2012
Checked the fluid.to find over the past couple of days its all but disappeared so there's a leak somewhere

Yeah mine is a bit asthmatic as it is, it still touches 115-120 though, on a private road of course
It has no problem dragging big heavy things about, like my dad's chipper or stump grinder. Also I find apart from the light steering, it handles really well for the barge it is.(23-08-2012, 07:07 AM)rocker8742 Wrote: Checked the fluid.to find over the past couple of days its all but disappeared so there's a leak somewhere
Hmmmh, so you havent seen where its leaking from yet? I'd say go with Niall's suggestion mate.
RE: the ugly cousin.. - rocker8742 - 24-08-2012
Found one of the front brake flexi hoses had been rubbing against the PAS i think and had worn through leaving a few smal holes in

only a few small holes
i like your style!
RE: the ugly cousin.. - Skank_army - 25-08-2012
You would be able to detect a leaky pipe no? You should be able to see where it had been leaking, and also feel that the braking system wasn't holding its pressure.
RE: the ugly cousin.. - rocker8742 - 25-08-2012
Skank, id have thought so but it hasnt been leaving any puddles anywhere and as for the feel it did loose it over the course of a day which is when i started looking into the problem
