Just like to say a huge thank you to Mr Cruising (despite what he says about Speed Pink coupés laugh ).

Ever since the rebuild of Project Jigsaw I've been plagued with an intermittent ABS warning light rolleyes

Whenever I run the diagnostic on it the codes tell me it's a disconnected rear sensor but when I faff around with the digital multimeter the readings suggested the sensor was perfect crazy

Anyway, Joe very kindly sent me up a sensor, express delivery, and today it was fitted. At last, no more warning light! cool

Very pleased and it's very reassuring to have someone like Joe on the forum with good prices, speedy delivery and boyish good looks (did I really say that last bit out loud? shocked ), especially since Carl seems to have disappeared frown

Keep up the great work Joe, and many, many thanks smile

Ahhhh, yeah, but Carlt, Take away the 'C' - add a J, remove the 'arl' and replace it with a 'oe' - and then take out the 't' - what do you have... Joe. Coincidence? Yes, unless Carlt went under heave face reconstruction surgery.

But they do both sell car parts and would look good as a Pirate.

And another note of appreciation for Joe from me too cool . I bought a set of Brembo`s off him a couple of weeks ago for refurbing and was pleased to find him a nice guy to deal with.

Hopefully i`ll not need him in a time of Coupé crisis but it`s good to know there is someone offering a good 2nd hand spares service again cool .

I'll add to this also. Seems to be a top bloke, I was supposed to pick a seat up from him ages and ages ago, but thanks to my crappy Satnav I spent most of the time driving the rural roads of Worcestershire and never found his place!

Still havent managed to pick the seat up, or deliver the wheels he wants, yet he still keeps contact up.

Joe, if your reading this, we'll sort it soon smile

Just to add to the fan club - Joe is a great guy. I found he was totally trustworthy and very friendly.

Let's hope he can make a go of the dismantling business, so we can all enjoy a ready supply of lovely cheap coupe parts for years to come

Keep it up Joe, and I hope the "go faster handbrake handle" is still in fine order wink

Thank you everyone, it's a pleasure supplying parts for the forum but it's you guys and your cars who make it worth while. The passion for this little Fiat is fantastic and I've shared it with every owner that I have had the pleasure of meeting, you just can't help talking coupe!

I couldn't take all the glory as there's my wife and children to thank also, bless them, Mrs CC has the patience of a saint but also loves driving them, so I'm a very lucky guy to have such an understanding family towards my coupe addition laugh

You might say I was in the right place at the right time after carlT left, but he's very much missed and offered the forum a great service with top quality parts, repairs and of course the well prepared coupe sales.

Since January I have been travelling the country buying quality coupes for parts and resale, my plan as some of you may know was to save, if possible, coupes from being dismantled. So far this has gone to plan and I'll be offering some nice examples up for sale at the end of the month, all the big jobs will be done, to use Carl's words, and they will also have 12 month warranty.

Anyway that's enough shop talk...thanks all again, always happy to help.


Long live the fiat coupe laugh

Here, here! laugh

Carl's a hard act to follow Joe but you seem to be making a sterling attempt. cool

Now all you need to perfect is the biting humour and cutting wit and you'll be sorted. laugh
