Just been back to my parents for a short holiday, I took a look on their 126. Besides the wash/vac it only needed a few deciliters of oil, some tightening on the V-belt, and adjusting a few degrees forward on the ignition advance. Nearly a year passed since I last had to fettle something, and the car is a daily driver.
How can people say Fiats are not reliable?

(Knock on wood, of course.  ;D )

I changed my engine mount rubbers & spring, went for a drive, broke down! Fixed it! Took some final/finished pictures and video, drove home!
Can't upload pictures as computer dead! Can't fix that!

Received new Weber carb, solonoids for the doors & next years MOT, ordered some service spares from 126fan.
Wish I wasn't at work so I could tinker!!

 put my front seats on the greased up runners, and a bonus all round the 1968 seats fit the 2013 floor pans . If its the last thing I do , I will attempt to post pictures, perhaps I will ask my 13 yr old son  :$. Mike.

The best attitude toward wiring is to be positive, or er, negative..... :D
