yes but it seems all Fiat dealers around where I lived do not want to work on my 126 ...

im sorry to hear that, we have the same problem over here. Would you attempt to do it yourself? we would guide you all the way!

its not all that difficult, if you ahve a little bit of mechanical knowlegde, its really just taking a few bolts off.

anyway keep us informed

regards

:cool: I'm used to "mecanic" on Vespa in my shed or on the road while ridding to scooter rallies ... have a few tools also ... If you can feature here some photos (or tell me where to find a DIY) it will help ... thanks in advance ! :wink:

:cool: My 126BIS has just started this morning ! Excellentissimo !!!

:smt028 The battery was not enought charged ... I've driven it 5 minutes round the house, it's like riding my Vespa without helmet !!

I need now to bring it to my nearest fiat dealer to check this possible head gasket problem ...

:cool: the small Fiat agent phoned me and my 126 BIS seems to have no problems with the head engine gasket ... the only problems is the light for cooling liquid on the dashboard that stays red ... a possible problem with the connection on the engine, and also why the fan doesn't work ...

... more news in 2 days ...
