First post so I thought I'd offer a heads up to owners of relatively new Fiat Ducato based motorhomes (ours is a 15 plate Euro 5 model) to say that there is a recall out for the ignition switch barrel which requires changing/modifying to stop a rapid drain of the main engine battery when the van is parked up. Ours is in to the dealers right now for repair under warranty. I'll keep you all posted if there are any glitches along the way..... Hopefully we'll be able to start it more reliably in future......although we are heading down to VanBitz in October for some major additions including their solar panel charging device amongst other stuff
.....and as I type, dealer is on the phone to say ignition barrel done and new engine battery about to go in as the one in just now isn't holding charge..... (been jump started a couple of times and is now cream crackered).....and battery also covered under warranty; so all in all a result!!
