There is nothing wrong with the timing belt as a system. It just needs to be maintained and not ignored.
How many millions of engines are running just fine with a timing belt?

Try telling a relative of mine that, 10 years old but only 25,000 miles.

He reckons it`s good for at least another 10 years if not longer as it won`t be near the 60,000 mile recommended change :scared:

I`m no longer involved with that vehicle.
 
Vege engines 01246456207 do good quality recon engines. Not the cheapest but never heard any bad reports. My 2.5 VW t5 has gear driven camshafts and no drive belts just a small gates coupling driving the alternator.

He is either very brave or stupid but either way he has a very expensive shock coming in the very near future.

4 weeks tomorrow

............and still no news

Vehicle has moved 5 miles on day 1
Maybe 50 miles on day 6
Here we are on day 27 and still has to begin the journey back to the UK
 
Comfort do not seem to be at all involved at the moment to be fair

My only dealings are with RAC France
 
I would suggest that your dealings should be with the insurers, not the RAC.

They have sub-contracted the work, but your contract is with the insurance company.
 
Friends of ours are still waiting for their car after 6 weeks. All they know at the moment is it's in the Uk now but don't know where.

..
 
RAC have now asked the Supervisory Team for permission to repatriate.

Probably have to wait for another week for their answer

Soon be Christmas
 
Hi mossypossy,

Feeling for you hope they pull their finger out soon.You never know the quality of these company's until you have to use them,

Regards Snowbirds.

Have to be patient and stoical

Alternative is to shout down the phone at people, risk pissing them off and being bumped to the back of the queue

Plus the folk I do speak to on the phone all appear to be genuinely helpful and nice.....especially the lovely Emma who has a sexy voice:p
 
Hi mossypossy,

I don't think a Frenchman or German would see it the same way,maybe you could let Comfort know how many members of Wild Camping are following your problems and have cover with them and how it could affect many their renewals in the future,

Update

Repatriation is a go go....might get an ETA when I call back next week

Went over the £2500 threshold by £60....whether this is their insurance cover for this or an actual over amount is not clear
 
comfort ins

hi I am with comfort ins and am following your story with interest
 
The RAC France woman told me that at this moment there are a LOT of vehicle repatriations going on at the moment.

Just hope I left enough food in the fridge for the stowaways that were stupid enough to think it would be a good idea to get a free ride to the UK
 
No update

SIX weeks to the day since the breakdown

Motorhome is now ready to be collected (still broken) from the French garage.

RAC France say please call if you have any further questions.

Repatriation process is underway

Next possible holiday in the fixed motorhome will be Oct 25......chances??
 
How nasty will my Thetford be?
Used for two days and still the contents remain:sad::scared::scared:
