just got in from seeing my beloved coop being trailered away by the AA again!!!! this time they excelled themselves, i rang them just before 3pm and it only took a matter of 5hrs and numerous texts/phone calls to establish that my original request did in fact state a low-loader was required.... aaaanyway, it seems it's the fuel pump i had fitted today so (hopefully) it'll be taken to motormech monday to have my original one refitted.... ooooh happy days, i'm on first name terms with 50% of AA staff now, it's enough to drive you to the other AA.... just to add though, sailed through the mot beforehand with no issues, not even an advisory....

No wonder the fiats have a reputation of being so unreliable! Joking aside, sorry to hear this Steve! I think you need to see a voodoo doctor to improve you coupe luck mate glad i didn't have any rope in the boot, it would have been questionable whether i strung myself or the aa people up ....

Fitted a couple of these You really don't need it though, the standard pump can fuel plenty especially with a direct battery feed. do i have a direct battery feed, or could paul do one for me? or maybe you/dave when i'm down there?

yeah the aa insurance is gonna be a god send the way this is going. it's just the constant hassle it's causing - last night, when it wouldn't start, i was stranded at work for 2 hours until i could get a lift home. i'm meant to tracking this car 1st may, and then do a long-ish trip to spa and back - at the moment i cant get to work and back let alone spa ffs...

Bloody hell mate, you're really not having any luck at all are you As Sam says though, surely there can't be much else left to go wrong, don't let a starter motor get you down Have a few pints and all will feel better Seriously though sorry to hear about the latest hiccup, hope you manage to get it sorted painlessly and finally get the chance to enjoy your Coupé!

Yea, hang in there mate, your car, as Sam say's, soon will not have anything left to go wrong and will soon turn the corner, being reliable for the next 100K Anyway, think of it differently, I love getting new parts for my car (Don't think about the money though) lol

When my car was failing regularly, I consoled myself and my ever-suffering wife that once I'd replaced EVERYTHING, it would never break again.
If only it were true - the sad fact is that replacement bits are just as likely (if not more likley to fail than the original bits
Proccy - face it - its a permanently-cycling process of exhilaration, dismay, spend, pamper, thrash, break, spend, etc etc etc

Who needs a specialist when normal garages don't mind working on my engine Don't worry mate I have issues too, this particular injector light fault of mine I can't seem to rectify just yet which is driving me nuts! You're not alone!

Looks like my fuel pump has packed up today. There must be something in the air! Thought it was the battery, plumped up £100 odd quid and it isn't ... still a nice new battery is now installed

hope you sort it diddy, my paranoia is higher than my blood pressure now, which is soaring!!! just been relieved of another £170 by motormech for a starter and fitting, not happy days for my wallet after the £100 for a battery yesterday that i didn't need - although having taken out breakdown repair cover with the aa i will be trying to recover it off them bar the £25 excess....little do they know what they've agreed to....
