Just bought my first van. A Berlingo XL panel van.
From what I've read, a lot of people on here have a van so might be able to help me with a couple of questions.
1. In the back, drivers side, there is a hole with a rubber grommet for (I'm guessing) a 12v cigarette lighter. Anyone know what i can wire one into? Is it likely to have unused wires ready for a cig lighter behind the trim?
2. Is there a way to add sound proofing to the bulkhead?
3. No locking wheel nuts or spare tyre. Worth getting any? It has steel wheels so not exactly expensive.
1, yes, the wiring loom (should be) is the same across the range, so there will be connectors hidden behind the dash somewhere.
2, just go on ebay and buy a roll of sticky sound deadening material. Something like this (the first I found in a search):

3, yes, definitely, and get a decent jack and spanners/sockets to get the wheels off.
Enjoy. Getting a van shaped thing is the best thing I did, 12 months ago. Camping in it tonight and even squeezed 45mpg out of 180 horses on the way to Anglesey.
