Hi Please bear with me as I am a new poster. I have a Fiat doblo JTD 6 years old, 47000 miles. It had a new cam belt and a service. I was driving at speed on the M4o when it had a catastrophic engine failure. Very luckily I managed to get onto the hard shoulder. It was recovered and it has a smashed engine. I have been advised that it should be written off as the damage is so great not only is there a football sized hole blown through the engine block all the ancilliary bits and pieces have been bent twisted etc too. It has all new tyres as well and i just spent 500 quid on service and the cam belt replacement last week before the failure.
i am not at all sure where i go from here. Should i contact fiat?
Surely this shouldn't have happened. It was very scary.
I hope this post is OK..thank you for any advice..I really can't afford to scrap this car without some sort of asking questions
