Hoping that with the popularity of Berlingos here that somebody will know this.
I have had my 05 2.0HDi from new. It's great! Everything I need in a car apart from one thing.............. the clutch is too heavy.

I've just had a second round of surgery on my left knee. Would now like to get a car with a lighter clutch, but really want to stay with a Berlingo (or similar).
Anyone?

speak to a local mobility centre. (main dealer might be able to assist.
Might well be mechanically possible to modify it.

If, as I think it is (having an HDi 306) a cable clutch, you may well find that the cable needs replacement or at least re-lubing. The cable passes carefully over the exhaust and the lube gets dried out, leaving an unpleasantly stiff clutch on some cars. Mine seems to be fairly light, though not as lights as other cars. I don't think you'll find a hydraulic version, but modification could be a way forward, but to reduce the force you'd need to increase the travel - which may feel a tad odd at first!
