Was it a head gasket issue in the end?

Nope.was a.wiring.fault,.something.from.the alternator

is the coolent black again?

Nope not at the moment it hasn't touch wood, I've left standard air box back on too.maybe tat could have caused it ?

Wait...wait...so a garage told you your GP was fubar'd and all it was was a bit of wiring?

OR am I missing something?

Stop making so many different threads haha!

That makes no sense?

A wiring/alternator issue causing coolant to go black and presenting head gasket symptoms?

Have you checked to see if any nuts/bolts have been disturbed recently (eg, exhaust manifold heatshield). Sounds to me that they've done the head gasket and don't want to admit it and potentially have you try to back the car after all the issues you've had.

If they have disturbed the cambelt, the EML flashing @ 60mph/3000rpm will be down to a sync-ing problem between the cam and crank sensors caused by not resetting the system after doing the job. If this is the case, the fault code will be for a generic misfire.

Yep basically they had it 2 weeks, they sent it to fiat, fiat checked it and said its a 'electrical fault' I asked what exactly it was they said a wire from.the alternator, and they also flushed coolant out.....strange I know

Hmm I'm not too sure what has gone on, but that's all they said alternator wiring causing it to run like Crap, and they flushed the coolant, said they done a pressure test and there was nothing at all wrong with head gasket .....I'm sick to death of that garage now, hopefully I don't have to take it down there anymore...

A head gasket job can be turned around in a day easily. Even by a crap garage.

Check around for signs anything's been disturbed.
