    Yep, I'll correct you, the Mk2's have a guage. Suppose they need it......:p

    British spec base models Mark 2's do not have a gauge... they also have windy windows, a tape deck and more plastic than the lego factory, though.

    I suppose that's the VRT effect in action- in the UK, they're expendable cheapos, in Ireland ANY new car is something to be proud of...

    working in fiat parts, things that are prone to the 00ish model are,
    steering motor(part of colum) 579plus vat for part
    head gasket(can be expensive time wise) 300ish
    wiper linkage/motor 150 plus vat
    other than that they may have the odd thing here and there that can go in many car,
    every car has there problems in different areas, although they have got better in time with the more recent model of cars people don't seem to be buying them..

    Would suspect so. Its weird, luxury makes the Paddy Specials have no extras and tiny engines; Fiat the Irish models are higher spec than the UK - always have been. My car had a trim kit that costs a few hundred in the UK included by default for instance.
