Between pages one and two the car changes from a 20v turbo to a 16v turbo confused

Would I trust that garage? No!

Looking at the list they are using the "shotgun" technique and replacing things rather than fault tracing and repairing any issues found. I mean, why replace the entire sunroof and motor assembly?

As a project it would be a great challenge, but if you're looking for a car to jump into and drive then I'd run away....

i am trying to contact barbz since 2 weeks with no luck , i think he left dubai frown

guys this garage is the dealer in DUBAI and the price to fix this car is really out of this world 9000 pounds to fix a 2000 model fiat??? without even a major job involved such as a head gasket or clutch......????? THIEVES

if i fix it outside the dealer how much would it really cost? and is 400 pounds already too much for it?

thanks

I think that is really going to depend on where you go to to get it fixed up, and whether you can do any of the work yourself. A dealer is always going to be expensive, but what alternatives are there out in Dubai?

Cool - it's usually the best option unless you can do the work yourself. smile
