Holiday breakdown

Please note, I have a Disco 4 and I was in France for the month of August, when on our way to the hospital (her father was taken ill) we suffered a fault with the ECU unit, we rang the help line car still loads of warranty left a very nice lady asked the fault then called us back with an answer from a Land Rover fitter all within 10mins, we were told we could drive the car and someone would be at our house am the following day.
Next morning at 09.00am two fitters arrived in an AA yes English guys had a cup of tea fixed the fault in 20mins.
This very kind lady called later that day to see if all was ok, and she did ask how my wife's father was how very kind.
SO A VERY BIG THANKS TO LAND ROVER I WILL BE HAVING A NEW CAR NEXT SPRING AND IT WILL BE A LAND ROVER.

We are 20 mins west of Bergerac, I was told by the two AA guys that they and a few others stay in France for 8 weeks and sort out members cars and also Land Rover warranty work the guys were staying in Rouen.
I think this saves Land Rover wasted money shipping cars to dealers to be sorted when they can be fixed road side or in our case at our home.
