I find it difficult to believe a fiat garage doesn't stock everyday service items. A sign of the times I guess. Everyone orders on line so stock only held centrally I presume.

My understanding is in the UK no one keeps stock these days. Everything is Just In Time. Take your vehicle to a garage and they will work out what is needed and order it from GSF or someone like that and expect it to be delivered in a couple of hours or so.

I don't know if this is the same in France. It probably is but may not apply to main dealers who use a different supply chain.

We couldn’t get springs or bearing over the counter in Scotland - they had to be ordered in.

Oh please for goodness sake NO !!!!! Not Pont de Rupé
Not the right place at all.
Bad area

I hope no one has gone there yet! I've just read Carolyn 's post mentioning me
Frankie, we are booked into here for 1 October. They know we are a camping car.


We are now staying at Camping Toulouse le Rupé and things are fine here. I have ordered the parts we need and they should arrive next week.

Just enjoying Toulouse now. :)

You are next to one of the biggest field for Gypsies, and quite a few robberies have taken place there. Now of course things might have changed. I'm not looking for news on a regular basis. I cross my fingers the gendarmes have cleared the area, indeed. Just be careful you 2 ok?

You are not very far away from me at the moment. Chemin de Gabardie is at about 6 or 7 minutes away from where I am at the moment.
Stade Latécoère is where I used to live, and I am helping there up to monday morning for the International Canine Exposition on the 21st and 22sd Sept

Frankie, thank you, we have seen the gypsy camps but we have been walking around the Parc Sesquiéres and all seems safe there. The campsite here looks very secure.

I plan to rent a car next week and we will do some exploring. :)
