My problems with my Dobbin 120 continue. Engine warning light came on again, dealer (Gibsons of Basingstoke) still giving good service, but has problems in solving my engine warning tied in I believe with emmision control.
I am told Fiat have been replacing the filter to solve the problem but are concerned as they cost £900! - yes thats right nine hundred smackers - A bit of a worry when the warrenty finishes. For your info the latest move is firmware loaded into my car's computer last week - I will let you all know if it solves the problem.

I've had 'engine failure' on my 120. Garage couldn't find a fault so I hope if it needs doing it will go before the warranty runs out.
