I'm learning about Fiat's
« on: 12 March 2011, 19:32:41 »

And you think Vx can be bad  ::)

I need to replace the anti rollbar bushes......and discovered they are Fiat only part.....bet you carnt guess.... the Fiat dealer wont sell you just the bushes....
I need to get the anti rollbar as well  :o

£130 later......just to get two rubber bushes  :(

On the upside, i will have a spare anti rollbar  :y
That i carnt use coz you carnt buy the bushes on their own  ::)

That's disgraceful! Why would you ever need another anti-roll bar? It's not as if you could wear one out or break one.  >:(

Yet I got a service plan for SWMBO's Panda (Low mileage admittedly) and it worked out cheaper than paying for the first 3 services at the menu price when I bought it :y :y

When it had the first service there were no extras at all :y :y

I had a Fiat Uno a few years back, and was doing quite a few miles at the time, but did very little maintainence..... I think I treated it to a couple of new tyres and that was it and never got let down. Great little car  :y :y :y
