Hypothetical question re comfortmatic.

[WESTY66]

Right, as I’m starting my 2-3 year prep for retirement, one thing is niggling me. My head tells me to get a NON comfortmatic sub 3.5t moho for retirement, for obvious reasons regarding go box’s and tolls in the east of Europe etc.
Now on the other hand my van is great as it is, it’s used regularly and everything works and it’s got all the toys on it and is great for off grid use, back to my question, we will be doing Morocco and Türkiye on alternate years to combat the 90/180 and my worry is that there is no one out there to sort out the comfortmatic should I have a problem and I really wouldn’t want to leave it there on its own waiting repatriation to U.K. which would probably take forever. Does anyone KNOW for certain if they’re capable and equipped to repair such a specialised gearbox in either country?

If you read posts on here over the last few weeks you’ll find quite a few regarding breakdowns, if memory serves me correctly only 1 is a comfortmatic, it really doesn’t matter what you have as everything can break just do your best to look after it.

A lot can happen in the next 2-3 years. Why worry about the van you might need then. Enjoy the van you clearly love now and for the next 2-3 years.

Fiat is no longer doing the 9 speed Auto on the 3.5T new vans , only the 4T.

Wait and see.

They are still offering auto on 5.99m and 5.4m 3.5T vans, also it's an 8spd auto now.

Mr Adams and Mr Morey have had their hands on the comfortmatic and will do so again before I set off

We will be there next Thursday
