Got the van back today. Fixed.
Should have picked it up on Friday but was busy until now. It has new mounts, a new reverse gear and a new clutch has been fitted.
Started it up and noticed no thump when starting anymore. Went straight from the dealers to a Tesco car park and reversed it up a slight slope. Now I am able to fully release the clutch and the van will only move slowly, with no judder on take-up.
Drove home and reversed into my drive. This involves reversing across a road, over a dropped kerb and then up a slope on gravel. No problem, little rattle as I crossed the kerb, but otherwise very different to previous situation. Was almost able to do it with no throttle but not quite.
All I did was write one letter to Fiat, now I shall be writing another saying thanks. To review previous posts I have now spoken to 6 people with this van, two said it rattled a bit but I am the only person amongst 7 of us to take any action.
Off to Fort William on Friday.
