Back lights are well sound. Much better than the cruddy back end on Marea's in this country. The mods look good too - You just need to do something with your head unit...It's letting the rest of the car down.

Can you not get Facia adapters in Brasil?

Yes, but the ones I've seen place the head unit too far "down" into the dashboard. If you know about one that doesn't, please let me know. I've been searching for it, for quite sometime now.
Anyway, thank you for your kind remarks about my car

Just to let you guys know. There is a Brazillian car about to be "launched" in the UK market. It is expected to be in the price range and to target the same buyers of the Lotus Elisee.
It's name is Lobini, and it's homepage is www.lobini.com.br

It doesn't have a VW Beetle engine does it?

Why would you say such a thing?
As a matter of fact, it is powered by an Audi A3 Turbo 180HP engine.

nice car but you could do with gettin a body kit and lowering springs also bigger alloys. i like the ice in the boot tho m8 and nice back end i agree better than uk version but you need to do more to the out side of the car as it looks pritty basic part from "tailpipe" as you called it. but all in all nice car. but not a patch on my uno but yeah do some more stuff to the outsdie of the car oh yeah like the leather trim.

gotta love the uno's

Very nice.

The boot is so much better than mine.

I am just starting with mine, had it less than a month.

By the way, you wouldn't know where the phase transition relay is by any chance.

85% of Marea HLX drivers have speeding tickets.... lol they'll have to catch me first.

Well, you got me there. I have the FIAT parts catalog, so if you could explain to me what function this relay is supposed to serve, I'll be more than glad to try and find it for you.

Thanks, I've already had a look and can't find where it is. It is the relay that activates the variable valve timing solenoid that sits on the block by the timing belt. Tried tracing the wire but it gets lost in the loom.

How do you manage to do anything under the bonnet? I only have a 2.0 engine and it is squeezed in so tight I have to drop the engine to top up the washer bottle.

I am almost sure that the one you are looking for is: 7619302
But, FIAT's personel told me otherwise (but I think they are wrong): 7752313
I am giving you the part's numbers, so that if you have the catalog it willbe easy to find their schematics.
I think FIAT's people are wrong, couse this particular relay is intercheangeable with the one activating the electric sunroof, and this doesn't seem right to me.
In case you haven't got the catalog, the relay I was referring to is the only one mounted by the electronic central (fuel injection electronic central)
Anyway, I hope I was able to help.

Many thanks.
Fiat are now saying it is the valve that's gone and quoted me £320 to replace it. I declined VERY politely.
