I'm one of the many, so pissed off with Tony Blair that I couldn't stand it any longer and had to leave, and it's much warmer here as well, perfect for the Barchetta.

Has anyone told you already? Tony Blair is retired. We have a new Prime Minister. Since then, the summer has been very sunny and hot (no flood), house prices have dropped by 50%, and women are more beautiful than ever ...

... well, I wish this was true.

I spent two months in Ruse about 12/13 years ago : a was a very nice experience! A Bulgarian friend told me that I wouldn't be able to recognise the country anymore with all the changes in the last years.

I heard about Tony, but I don't like Gordon either so I think I'll stay here. I did the reset of the ecu but it's still the same, always starts first time from cold though. Think I'll have to wait and see if the new key code reader box does the trick. In the meantime my Barchetta cd manual arrived so I can see how this thing works at last.

Thanks for that Bill, I live in Plovdiv central Bulgaria, did the drive in my Barchetta from the Midlands to here non-stop and have to say its a comfortable car to drive.

Is it a red one?I saw one near Blagoevgrad Saturday noon.

No not a red one, a nice metallic blue one. I went to the Fiat dealer here who said its a fault between the key code reader and the ecu, they fiddled with the connections, then changed the key code reader for a new one and it did nothing, but they did change it back again and charge me nothing. The only problem is they have no other ideas about how to fix it. I am thinking it must be the ecu, anyone got another idea, about 50-60% of the time it doesn't start first go, I have to turn the ignition off again and start again and it goes.
Anyone know how much an ecu costs?

doogal has a full set of keys,locks and ECU for sale so drop him an email.
