Hi m8, not many fiat 500 D's around, thsoe suidie doors are hard to get hold of i believe, i have a fiat 500 F which im restoring a 1972 one.

I will give you a few websites to look through; middle barton garage the top link below, tunes them and is very well known, they sell most 500 bits.

Hi Paul
Love to go but regretably I have to work. That and I can't get the 500 to go. It's huffing I think because I'm paying to much attention to an Alfa GTV6 I'm painting for a Club member.
Last outing was to Waringstown were it ran all night on one cylinder

Haven't had a chance to get to the bottom of it apart from it's getting fuel and a spark but won't kick. No doubt as soon as the GTV goes it'll start

Is it sparking on the cylinder it wont run on?AT worst it could be a sticky or burnt out exhaust valve.

Donno. I'm hoping to get a look at it during the week. It's sparking fine but I haven't got checking it at the plugs yet. It's bound to be something silly. :roll:
