Servicing Peugeot base vehicle

Our Autosleeper is coming up for two year service so the Peugeot Boxer base vehicle will require a first service under the warranty conditions. I have spoken to a number of Peugeot main dealers who refuse to do the service as their workshop cannot accommodate motorhomes. This is made worst because I have a small warranty claim (outside air temperature reading faulty). It seems that some will to do the basic service but not the warranty claim. The nearest place I have found is about 20 miles away which is not a disaster but rather disappointing considering the number of Boxers there must be on the road.

Anybody else had this problem?

Hi BB, who do you intend to use in Taunton?     Because of warranty concerns I have my hab service done by Highbridge and will have first Fiat service done by Chelston later this month.   It would be good to have another option.

Update on the above thread.

I eventually discovered that many local workshops can do both an MOT and what they call a “manufacturer’s service” which uses genuine parts and presumably maintains the warranty. There is one not far away that will handle motorhomes up to 3.3m high and 4t.

Anyway, the outside air temperature was reading wrongly in the cab and I was forced to take the Motorhome to a Peugeot main dealer of which the nearest turned out to be Hartwell in Dunstable which is 45 miles away. They were very good, giving me coffee machine vouchers and a sandwich voucher, but having agreed that the probe was faulty they now have to get the repair authorised and get a replacement wing mirror. Back to Dunstable again in due course.

The good news is that my local authorised Autosleeper dealer which is only 10 mins away agreed to investigate the faulty reversing camera and has now ordered a whole system so that he can do a trial and error swap. You win some and lose some!

bill, sorry for the delay, I missed this question completely.....

i actually used Chelstons and was going to cycle into Taunton from there...

as it happens, it was chucking it down and my daughter had set me another task (at the Nissan dealer) so I didn't go....

i may use Huttons (nr WSM) for the 24 mth base service, but unlikely to have a Hab check....just the damp check sticker.....

hope you're having a good time.....in the sun...
