can anyone help me i have a fiat bravo 1.2 was driving along yesterday and the clutch just dropped. Then i couldn't get the car into any gear. stopped the car in a panic and all :confused: of a sudden there was a bang from under the car, when i looked undernearth there were loads of bits of metal on the floor, so i picked them up and somehow got the car into 1st gear drove home doing 2 miles an hour. i have phoned a garage to try and get a quote on how much it is going to cost to fix but they say they wont be able to tell until they see the damage. he said he thinks it might be the cylinder that has broken what do you think? :bang: :confused: :confused:

i take it they mean clutch slave cylinder.its a common fault.easy job.about £40 for parts.same again for labour if you cant do it yourself.its very unusual for it to just fall off.its about 3-4 inch long,and a cylinder shape.check your brake master cylinder for fluid loss.thats were the clutch fluid goes two.there have been past threeds on the subject.let us no how u get on.
 
Sorry cant post a pic of the parts cause the garage has them,they were going to try to use them to fix it but he said that the black part is torn, so he had to order the parts from fiat. then when he got the part it was the wrong one. Because of easter i'm still waiting, hope fiat are open today so that they can deliver the parts. i'm seeing him later today so i let you know how things go. :rolleyes:

The car still isnt fixed the mech reconds that either the plate or a folk is damaged as well, i havent got a clue what he is talking about. Although he has fitted the clutch slave cylinder and he said thats ok now but there is another noise. God knows what all this is going to cost me.A any ideas ? i miss my car, i hate using buses. i'll keep you posted as to what he says next. cars :bang: :eek: (n)
 
i have just had even more bad news about my car, the gear box is wrecked as well, fiat quoted 1,150 pound for a new one :eek: :eek: but, i have looked on the net and got one for 235 pound including delivery, wont be coming till monday so i hope the garage will fit it straight away for me :bang: :bang: :yuck:
 
garage just phoned my car is ready for me to pick up. all in all it has cost me around 600 pounds. i just hope it all works and there are no more problems that can occur. i havent had the car a year yet and any thing that could go wrong with it has gone wrong with it. i dont think i will be buying a fiat again, thanks for all the help you have given me. (y) :) :D
