I was looking on the Haynes web site for Fiat 127 info and had a quick look around - it looks like they are not producing a manual for the Seicento [:0] Bizarre or what?

See http://www.haynes.co.uk/inc/viewmanual.asp?mt=NMP029 for details.

Yep, being as the cinq and sei are basically the same underneath they can't be bothered to make one specifically for the Sei

So, in that case, why don't they lump the two models together in the same manual?

I'm actually asking because if I do get some new wheels, I will be getting a Sei 'cos I happen to like them.

This will only happen IF and ONLY IF the Panda is no longer economically repairable ... that day hasn't arrived yet :)

It's usually the Haynes one that's a load of aged male bovine excrement :D

The porter manuals are normally very good!

It's a very different layout etc. to the Haynes manual.
Haynes aint perfect, especially look out for when they say 'simply' before an instruction. This translates to 'simply obtain a 14lb sledgehammer, have a good reserve of inventive language ready, and a box of plasters for when it all comes off in a hurry and you take all the skin off your knuckles'

'Simply' sometimes appears to be a reference code to obtaining someone with three elbows per arm to get a spanner on the nut too.

Hello Steve, Pete_L here.

I have both Haynes and the Porter for the Panda. Must admit that the Porter is better. How about the ball joint rubber boots, and progress please?

Rgds, Pete Lewis.
