Currently stuck in France after 4 days now with our motorhome in a Gararge 20 kilometres away after a breakdown on our first campsite.
Communication is proving difficult with my school French just not able to come anywhere near understanding what the Garage is saying. Fortunately a Tugger ( Ill never knock them again ) who speaks fluent French spoke with them yesterday and they believe that the sigma vehicle alarm / immobiliser has damaged the engine ECU and now the engine turns over but won't fire.
Four days in and I'm getting concerned that they don't really know what to do, the Mechanic said he has a friend who will be coming to see if he can repair it! I guess / hope he's an autoelectrician and not the local Farmer!
If not it will require a new ECU cost around 900 euros plus labour ouch
Just wondered if anyone has encountered this and would welcome any advice especially @eddievanbitz
Thanks, Jez
