(while weather is half decent)

Today was good day here, took advantage: changed thermostat gasket, - replaced coolant - bled the bugger of a system - replaced lambda with new one - and washed it nice and shiny

Seems the weather don't like us fixing our fiats

I'm lucky realy as ive got a decent size garage, but tbh id sooner be outside,

I've not had much 'tinker time with the yellow thing,the minute ilift the bonnet up..some one turns up with something thats broken,

ah well time to find a new hobbie soon, Hang Gliding is looking good,

Ahh to have a garage to work in in the winter!

Don't give up on yellow ting, it deserves your time

(Ahh to have a garage to work in in the winter!)

what we used to do years ago if we had no garage, is go to the local farm's.
they all have some un-used outbuildings, worth an ask,
or keep eye out in local paper for small unit's/lock up's to rent,

if you go half's with a mate it dont work out to expensive,

Update - I've 2 new lambdas and still the error code keeps getting thrown up.

I have had a very good think while I have been away for 2 weeks and I have decided that maybe it's time to move on from this as I need something a little bit different and newer.

I will stay within the fiat family, dont worry ?

Would make a good car for someone, I have put a lot of good work and money into this car and it runs sweet as when this lambda problem doesn't show its ugly head,

Have always been lining up a Grande Punto t-jet, but the Abarth Grande Punto has caught my eye now

Perhaps there is a wiring fault or cat has expired..

Good luck with the new motor..

Yeah very strange, code hasn't appeared after another 200 mile trip, although I keep getting a "can line" code?

Car still running rough and when changing gear..Car is such a sweet runner and in good nick tho, lots of time into it so will make sure it goes to a good owner,

Will probably have it for another month or so, to sort it out and all that,

Thanks!
