ps.. van battery thanks all
Hiya yes Swift are aware of the kitchen light problem and have just sent us a replacement cover.............let you know how we get on with that this week when we have been out again.
We have had a problem once with battery draining and didn't know why it had drained it held us up a while, but someone from Swift described how we could charge it from mains.........touch wood all ok since then.
Side door does take some slamming must admit, but didn't know it could be adjusted, one night we left it properly shut at top or bottom whilst not shut other end............we didn't realise till morning.
No probs with bathroom door.
*Edit to add our battery probs were with the cab............still haven't got the flipping radio sorted either so no music.

Hi!
I have a 2007 Bolero model FB -
Have not up to now experienced a battery problem or the bathroom door.
The habitation door is a problem and can be adjusted but still have to slam it shut, which I don't think you should need to!
Also have the strip light cover problem - dealer put extra screws in but still not perfect - is the Swift replacement a better one?
Had a few other problems but hopefuly dealer will sort them out!!
Best Regards
Terry

hi, thought i could share some useful tips regarding problems with the swift bolero. i've got a 630PR model, purchased new in September 07. from the off, i had problems with the door which would not shut (a known fault, and my door and frame were replaced under warranty), lights coming on of their own accord, total electrical failure to habitation area (due to faulty relay/fuse board) and a flat leisure battery within a week! main tip - pester the dealer you bought it from, until they resolve the problem, even if it means the van has to go back to swift. i did and eventually (some 6 months later) i am now a very happy owner of a fab motorhome, less the problems, with a very large cheque from dealer for compensation in my bank - that said, they did have my van for a total of 16 weeks out of 24, ignored letters and i eventually had to issue Court proceedings against the dealer in order to get any kind of response.
ps - remember, your money did what it was supposed to do - so should the van!!!
