Hiya! My name is Ceri

Early days, Marea Weekend owner for 6 hours.

I was looking for a Diesel Estate for a stop gap and was lucky enough to have this car pop up in my search. It's basically sound albeit a little rough in parts, nothing that a good buff (and a new bonnet and front bumper) can't fix.

I also own a Triumph Dolomite 1300 (my pride and joy) and a Frontera Jeep (clutch has gone)

Taking the Marea on a trip over the bridge to the Bristol and West Classic car show and Autojumble tomorrow. See if i can pick up some bits for my Dolomite.

Really enjoyed driving it so far! Heaters are a bit cold and temp gauge stays very cold so looking at getting a new thermostat/temp sensor first. Can't do without nice hot heaters right now!! FREEZING!

I am sure i will have a billion questions as time goes on, I confess i had never heard of a Fiat Marea (but i had heard about the JTD engines, favourably!)

Let the fun begin!

Made the journey over the bridge to Shepton Mallet with ease today.

Noticed it wanders a bit.. i suspect the wishbones need replacing.

:)
 
I've got a new set in the garage.. let me know if they are of interest..

I'm regularly in South Wales..;)



Blimey! I was jus going to check if they were rebuildable. Looks like the bushings can be renewed but not the ball joint.

Let me know how much you want for them. :)
