I've had some problems with the instruments in my 2008 Boxer based motorhome. First the fuel gauge stopped working, then the speedo But then the speedo started up again. The gauges can't be replaced and a new binnace costsx £680.00 new plus fitting. So I
bought a second hand one and a local auto-engineer swapped over the chip to keep my mileage the same. But the same problems have reappeared. The engineer tells me he is having similar problems with a Fiat Ducato and that Fiat have told him it's a known problem,
so we are now waiting to see if they comes up with an easy fix.

Just wondered if anyone else had experienced this problem.

    Not  those  problems,  TwoBeards,  But  the  Particulate  Filter  &  the  Seat  Belt  alarms  annoy  me  intensely Yell !!  Had  to  go  to  the 
    Fart  main  agent  to  get  them  re-set  'cos  the  computer  programme  that  my  tame  mech  has  (  not  cheap  either  Money Mouth  
    )  was  not  capable  --  it  had  to  be  the  company's  Master  Programme  !

     

     

    And  before  you  ask  ==>  no  it  was  not  a  typo  !
