Hello all
Thought I would impart a slightly alarming recent experience, in finding out that FIAT no longer seem to stock official rear exhaust sections for post-1998 (155) Bravo HGTs.
Now, I'm not saying I would have bought one at FIAT prices - and maybe this is the issue - but my dealer says they are no longer available. I gather there are only about 80 155's on the road in the UK now, so maybe this is all to be expected - but for a car that is still only 14 years old, still a bit worrying.
As it happens, I took a chance on an aftermarket standard-pattern exhaust for an earlier (147) HGT, bought over the internet (how did we run old cars before it?) and it fitted fine. And wasn't very expensive. And seems to perform well. I don't really go for the big boomy Max Power type exhausts one can get so wanted to keep it reasonably standard.
All of which is fine on one level - but can't help feeling a bit worried that FIAT are no longing stocking fairly routine bits for late-model HGTs.... has anyone else run into this?
