In my opinion, there's something else wrong, such as an air-flow meter or a sensor, this is presuming that everything else is in order, such as spark plugs and fuelling??? My wife's Delta 1.4 multiair turbo does urban and town driving mostly and gets 9lt/100kms consistently and has been as low as 4.9lt/100km on a cross country open road run

That's great news :-D Glad you are sorted and enjoying the driving

Well done Mike!!! Everything comes to he who waits

Ye can't beat twisty turny knobs, connected by cable rather than wires and motors

How technical :-DThey're actually called gizmos!!! I think if cars have xenon lights and poly-eliptical light lenses, they're required by European law to have a means to wash the lights, so it might not mean that this car has the 'see around corner lights'??? (Look at the technical terminology I use!!!) :-D

There could even be different calipers on each side of the car, depending on which box was where, on the production line!!! I had a Punto 1.9 jtd which had a Girling on the left and an ATE on the right, same discs, but I had to get a set of each type when I changed the front pads

Obviously not an Italian so :-D

I would clean and grease the inner cv joints (gearbox side) before condemning the outer (wheel side) cv joints. The inners have been known to cause the same effects and noises of outer cv joint wear ;-) Also, dry inner joints can cause shuddering through the car on uneven roads

Mike, what became of your HF4WD????

Well wear Forza :-D And many years of happy motoring

Great news! Glad you are getting sorted :-D

It's funny you should say that as I have driven the Delta equivalent (1.4 turbo) Giulietta in both left and right hand drive and I found the rhd more uncomfortable due to the lack of a driver's clutch foot rest! A poor omission from what is marketed as a driver's car :-(

Over here in Ireland we have the National Car Test (NCT) which is broadly similar to the MOT, the guidance regarding warning lights is; if it's on and should be off . . Fail If it's off and should be on . . Fail I can't remember a stop/start warning, unless it is specifically turned off at the button on the dash??? My wife's Delta, the stop/start has a life all of its own, sometimes it works and when you expect it to work, it doesn't :-(

You're very welcome :-D

I'm not (new to Italian cars) so ask away, rather than to chance making a balls up :-D

You just screw the sensor out of the old filter and use the seal from the new filter to seal it QED

Without wishing to sound like an arse - yesssssss :-D

We have Barum Bravuris3 on my wife's Delta, 205/55 x16 240 euros for a set of 4, fitted, balanced and new valves, good all round grip and very quiet on the road, I would recommend them I have Pirelli P7s on the Tipo 225 45 x17 and at 70000 kms still going strong, although am going to fit a new pair on the front for the winter, 110 euros each

Welcome along DV! The oil filter is a cartridge type, with your knees at the front bumper, facing the engine, it's located under a plastic cover clipped in beneath it, you will need a ratchet, a long extension, a universal joint and a 27mm socket. You place the socket on the cover and screw off anti-clockwise, with a cloth beneath to catch the drips. The filter is used on many fiat and Lancia models and is listed on the Halfords catalogue (HAL 31) I think??? Only use the Fiat 'pure energy' (red can) oil which is specific for the multiair engine. Hope this helps

I reregistered a former UK delta in Ireland 3 years ago and I will take out the paperwork and see if there is an EU certificate of conformity number on there. Give me a day or two, to find and go through it!

They fit, end of :-) I went for the Bravo springs for my wife's 2012 1.4 SE multiair

+1 :-)

Eper is a Bo77ix! It only lists the pads and discs as a kit and not separately :-((

2 flat bladed screwdrivers can work as well!! If you use a screwdriver to lever back the pads in the caliper, before removal, you may not need to press back the piston, as it may be fully retracted. 1 small point, watch the brake fluid reservoir for level as you will be refilling that as you press back the piston
