I took my test on a borrowed KH250 in Nov 80 ( I intended to get it insured ..Honest

) In the hour or so before my test that I had to practice in, I very nearly took a dive over the bars as I knocked the gears down 2 as I approached a roundabout

!!! My GT250 had 6 gears & was 2 stroke - a slightly different riding style!

So .... it's claimed that the engine has only done 50 000 miles. but what about the rest of it? A bit misleading IMHO.

serviced a vauxhall signum 19cdti this morning, guess what, its got a fiat engine!! also the 05 vectra and 05 corsa (petrol and diesel) also had fiat engines!! have fiat taken over GM? whats going on at vauxhall???

Well the best that the Fiat forum can come with is that the warning lamp is the engine managment light & take it to a Fiat dealer for the codes to be read! WTF That's what I was asking them for advise on. :-?
The OOF could be soooo much simpler if we just said the same to all newbies!

Does any one know anything about Fiat cars? Sisiter-in-law's car has just put an amber warning lamp on - engine shaped like ours but no flash or spanner through it - from the hand book it appears to be an emmisions warning. It runs like a bag of spanners on idle but seems to pick up OK when you rev it. Anyone know if you can do a paperclip test on it?
Should she just scrap it before the rust takes hold?

Is there a decent Brava Owners Forum?
TIA
