Guest JudgeMental Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 "Kelly will you be selling tickets to watch you set fire to yourself? is this not a Fiat with another name?" I was thinking the same thing......Probably the turn around of the century!:-S Maybe Kelly does not realise IT IS THE SAME VAN AS THE FIAT? *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly58 Posted September 9, 2010 Author Share Posted September 9, 2010 Our 1st motorhome was a new Peugeot one of the 1st on the road in Dec 2006 and was faultless having done almost 20k miles in over 18 months our local Peugeot Garage were brilliant when on the rare occasions we had to go there even sending a fitter to our house when we had a small problem , comparing the two vehicles Peugeot / Fiat in my opinion the peugeot is a better base vehicle , To those of you who have read my postings regarding my past problems will note my main complaint is with Fiat as a company and their associated dealerships to which I feel we had been badly let down.We are looking forward to taking delivery of our new motorhome and can only hope its as good as our 1st Peugeot.

Guest JudgeMental Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 This is really funny....the disappointment resulted from a bodged job on a juddering vehicle. The breakdown drama could have been avoided using travel insurance...... What is to prevent the same thing happening again as it is an identical vehicle mechanically :-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duffers Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I think perhaps it is called 'hope over experience' good luck to them, what are the odds of that particular combination of crummy luck happening again to the same people mind I speak as one who has avoided sevel types like the plague and wouldn't know where to begin as a tugger if my life depended on it, people watching on sites leads me to believe it is a rather complicated pastime I only do the KISS approach to life >:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhorsf Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 As regards never buying another Fiat ever and sooner setting fire to oneself, well if you think the Peugeot will be a lot better than the Fiat as its a different Company then I guess you are entitled to that view however misguided or not it may be.I wish you well with your new van it sounds like you are overdue some good luck, I would check when you chassis was made by Fiat oh sorry Peugeot as they are sometimes at converters a long time and they do buy up old stock sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
