NOT AGAIN!!!!! Never buy a Fiat
After our horrific experiences in France when the Turbo failed on our brand new motorhome, yesterday saw all those memories dragged up again as, once more, we were on the hard shoulder of the motorway awaiting roadside assistance.
This time it seemed that the Cambelt failed and we are potentially looking at a new engine. Giving the RAC their due, they were with us in half an hour, diagnosed the problem and towed us to the nearest service station.
This all kicked off at 11:00am. Unfortunately RAC were unable to tow us home due to the size of the vehicle so once more we were on the phone to Fiat Camper Assistance.by 5:00pm, the best Fiat could come up with was to send us a taxi to collect a hire car. With stress levels toppling over the edge I called RAC commercial vehicles and spent an amazing £775.00 to get our home recovered.
Keep your eyes on Watchdog for the next installment on this very sorry saga.

Oh dear.
It doesn't sound good.
The adventure does continue even on this side of the Channel.
Really hope it can be sorted soon and that your stress levels don't boil over.
Take care
Lots of love to all
