First time out in our brand spanking new Autotrail on a Fiat X290, 180 with Comfortmatic box. Really pleased with the quality of the Autotrail build. As for the Fiat bit, well, we'll see. At the moment not very impressed! After 134 miles - YES ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY FOUR MILES! EOBD system failure light stays on, together with warning light showing Hill Holder system failure. Is this some sort of record for thongs to go wrong with Fiat?

£60,000 plus lighter in my wallet and i'm tamping.

Don't worry . Common dashboard problem, dealer will change it, then again and again. Just annoying

Glad your happy with the hab side of the MH, I'm sure the Fiat side will be fine once any teething problems are sorted. We've had 2 fiat base vehicles and so far no problems. Our current one is at 8K

I once saw a brand new Mini come out of Kennings, main dealer in Chesterfield many years ago, and the wheel fell off and rolled away.

Sorry, yours is not a record - but it is a pain in the butt!

Best of luck sorting it.

I would be raging, I'm miffed enough today with a low oil pressure warning after a few 100 miles on a 4 year old van. Hope its just a one off new car gremlin.

I had to wait 624 miles for my Fiat to go wrong. ABS controller faulty and had to wait 2weeks for a new one. That wasn't the last thing to go wrong!
