Hi folks, I have viewed the current thread on cambelt change costs and would like to pose a more specific requirement. I own a 2008 registered Dethleffs Globebus I3 A class on a Fiat Ducato X2-50 Chassis. The beast has done 35K miles and is now a little over 5 years old. I live at the end of the known world in West Penwith Cornwall and would like to know if any of you good fellows know of a facility in the South West that has experience in carrying out the cambelt replacement. I am reluctant to use a facility that has little or no experience with this requirement on an A Class rig.

You could do worse initially than getting onto the Fiat Professional website here: http://www.fiatcamper.com/ and look for a Fiat motorhome specialist garage. At least they should appreciate that access to the engine bay of an A class van will not be so straightforward as with a standard van, and they are likely to have the hoists and headroom to accommodate their larger bulk - even accepting that the Globebus is a "compact" model. It will probably cost a bit more than the "man round the corner" at main dealer rates, but should get the job done with minimal risk.

 

The nearst looks to be Sanders, near Holsworthy in Devon - so not that close. But the published list may not be fully up to date. Might be good to ring them to see if they have a suggestion.
