Sad news indeed but there seems to be mixed 'reviews' about him and whats happened to our beloved Lancia brand! RIP to him and condolences to his family though.......

Hi Lollypop - yes - I'll try to find the thread but I changed the backbox on my 1.4 MA for one which was labelled for a Bravo - Its the identical part - cost me about £35 new and delivered!

Being honest Mikey, it wasn't such a pain, as it was mostly labour work and just a little bit of brain work to sort it properly Am just glad that I could do it myself! As I'm sure that a garages labour cost would have made my wallet cry

Fixed at last! Got a new siren/control unit off eBay different part number but just the tone of the beep seems slightly different £80 as opposed to about £200 from Fiat, didn't want to risk £200 on something that may not have fixed it! The reason for failure of these units seems to be neither battery failure nor damp. The unit is sealed against damp but this has the side effect of holding in very small amounts of corrosive fumes from the charging of the batteries and this corrodes the circuit board. That's the theory I found on the net and seems plausible
