They'll be giving Italian cars an entirely unjustified bad name. Don't get no respect! Coupe Fiat 1994-2000 - an owner's guide <-- clicky!

I'm pretty sure the mechanical QC would have been spot on, the organic driver behind the wheel however One does wonder just what possible failure would have any "Sensible" driver stopping their car in an active lane on a motorway. If the engine cut out you would coast the car onto the hard shoulder, same if you heard an odd noise. So what could cause someone to stop in such a position? My guess - pressing down the clutch pedal, on an Automatic Gone Audi mad!
