Sounds good! They're amazing fun as I'm sure you now know! I've always liked them since they came out, but haven't really kept up with the spec's, so not what comes with what now.

Wow that was fast! So have you bought a new one then?

What sort of money you after Rosso?

Unlikely, you'd be best getting the codes read and getting a tech to diagnose...

^^^^What he said!!^^^

Yeah could have been a lot worse I guess... I need 4 new tyres and a service.... like buses they always come at once lol Yeah the QF is something else isn't it! Would bloody love one!!!

Welcome fella! Which engine is it? 1.4ma, 1.6 or 2.0l diesel?

Ah that's a ball ache! Back to the garage then...

Ah that is a result fella! Glad it's not ended in wallet rape lol

Ah well that would explain why you and lots of other people couldn't find it then...Hopefully you'll not have to wait too long to find out what's up!

Yeah I totally forgot about this as been a little busy of late... After a bit of detective work it went for £4900 plus fees on top, so probably around the £5300 mark depending on the dealer membership level. So in other words just £50 below cap clean or 99% of CAP clean... still a great buy at that price! I'd have been happy with that. He should have had the dent man in, plus the wheel guys, and maybe a cheap Chinese tyre if you're lucky..so that takes a few quid out of the deal, then there's a warranty, and the dreaded VAT...

Italians hey... Why make something simple when you can over complicate it, and put things in stupid places! I wouldn't mind but it's not like we're not used to it with all of the Italian cars we've owned over the years!!

I thought the MA MAF looked like this...

Sorry fella, I was out when you replied... It's funny you should say that! There was a thread ages ago with a Mito owner saying he couldn't find the MAF, and given they're usually a good 3 to 4 inches in length and inline with the intake pipe with a loom plugged in the side is a bit weird? Have you got access to EPER?

I could only find this: https://www.fiatforum.com/tech-talk/266337-fiat-specific-ecu-eobd-obd-dtc-error-codes-list-full.html for generic Fiat product and its in Italian so will need translation

Shame you're not closer... You could have used mine.

Are you able to read the code stored or are you waiting for the AA to do it when they arrive?

Hope its nothing too serious!

Behind the panel above your knee next to the drivers door. It's behind that little recessed pocket and is held in by one Philips head screw from memory at the top of the mouth.

Ha-ha I'm sure it would have fell on deaf ears lol. He pretty much told to F off when I said the door I'd gone to buy wasn't as described i.e Donald ducked. He said take or F'off... Where are you gonna get another! Think he wanted about £350 for it as well! And as you know I got one brand new in primer from Italy for £130 all in including delivery!

I was kinda hoping you'd be the guinea pig lol... Was that second sentence supposed to sound like a line from a carry on film!?

Blah blah blah!

Glad I have my uses!

Yeah makes a massive difference getting rid of those massive wings off the car. There's also two tiny Lancia badges on the rear quarter windows too, on the Italian cars, so you might want to get those too if not already. I still need an engine cover and headrests to complete really, just never really got round to them...

Yeah as Neil said it's only difficult as you're missing the loom that should have come with it! To be honest I wouldn't piss on that breakers yard if it was on fire. The guy is a total loser, and treats the cars, customers and parts with no respect, but still expects top dollar.
