Fiat Coupe Forum
- Founded by Kayjey & James Northam
- Funded by the Club for the benefit of all owners

IMPORTANT NOTICE - Access to Technical Info on Forum
The original ethos of the Forum was to make technical information

including How To guides, FAQs, etc. available to all Forum members

without subscription, but in recent years we have seen a decline in

Club membership numbers whilst the costs for hosting the Fiat Coupe

Forum web site have increased. Club membership pays for the Forum and

provides other benefits, and to ensure the long term viability of the

Club and Forum, it has been discussed and agreed at the recent AGM that

the technical sections of the Forum should be accessible only to Club

members with a current subscription, starting from 01-January-2026.

I've had to use them a couple of times for a breakdown. They use local recovery companies and afaik you never now have to pay the driver and claim back - they have pre-existing arrangements with the recovery companies, so they just turn up and fix or recover you. I had to use it on the M25 last week and was recovered within 30 minutes after ringing the call centre. Not really sure what AA / RAC offer that makes it so much better (read more expensive)?

In the early days you paid the bill and claimed it back, which in my case took less than a week. Now it's all sorted between the companies so no need to pay anything. One great feature was they towed us home, and then the next morning towed the car to a garage of my choice, and even gave me a lift home. Not had to use them in the last 18months so can vouch for recent service but still cheaper than the "rest".
