I'm in a similar position at the moment. Left uk on the 3rd of August traveling to the south of France, after going through roune on the motorway they engine failed. With the wife and two young children at the side Road thinking what the hell has happened! Having been told by the garage who towed us off the cam belt has gone and engine knackered! Finally got it back to Roune Nissan garage who told us its not their fault and the car can't be looked at till 28th August! We have hired a car to get us to our destination and yesterday the Nissan garage roune phoned up saying engine needs replacing and it will cost €5k for a reconditioned engine but they will voluntarily pay €1.7k towards bill. Phoned Nissan uk to complain but they tried to fob me off saying it's euro Nissan who needs to sort it out! A very heated exchange accursed and now waiting for the assessor manager to get In touch. Car is a 12 plate and the warranty ran out on the 24th July Fully serviced but not by Nissan with 55k on the clock. Our next stage is to hire a car to Calais on the 14th go on the ferry has passengers with all our travel stuff then hire a car back to Manchester and then for me to travel back to roune on the 24 August to pick the bloody thing up.
