Stilo Nero the Jtd Stilo

Well had it up on a mates lift at his work and we could only find 3 things wrong with her , A little bit of rust on the rear end of her ( mind blank cant think of the name of it )
2 anti roll bar links , and one track rod end had a bit of play , so just been on carpartsforless.co.uk and bought 2x track rod ends , thought i mights aswell do them both at the same time , and 2x drop links , came in at a massive £32, Barging so soon as they come they will be getting fitted

also just orded my debadge grill wait , i havnt its £10 postage... thats to much for this month

Good man drop links seem to be a weak point on the stilo - I'm on my second set now mind you there a doddle to change

sweet , hopefully they will be here soon , they say 2-4 days so soon as there here they will be on

yep, one of the few things that i had to change on my stilo was the drop links.

what you coming to mitcar in buddy?

Cinqy Stilo isnt ready for show use need a few things cleaned up on her before people see her up close

Off to manchester in her soon so hope she gets good mpg on the motorway

Well some time has passed , and New drop links are on , new trackrod ends are on , Debadged the rear of the car

gave the car a good few cleans inside and out , also wired a new Fag ligher socket in to the glove box so i can have my dash cam in there plugged in and out the way

car now sits on 186k will be 187k by the weekend is out i got it on 183k

183k! That's a great testament to the fiat diesels! Roll on another 100k!

Car looks good! Welcome

Well went to the scap yard to get a new brakepeddle switch , and errm came away with some new goodies

Cruse controll steering wheel thinngy , and 6 cd changer , and a brake peddle switch off to fit them now

well striped it all out , new one in , and there is no loom for the CC ... got sake like i have no look

That's ashame bud, its well worth having cc on the stilo, you can still probably wire it in though? I'm sure someone written a thread about it somewhere?

been speeking to mark thompson , and he said i can wire it stright in to the ecu , so guess what im doing tomoz getting her ready for some long runs om gona do in her

If you've not got it download the Stilo eLearn so that you can check the pin out diagram for the ecu as there may be more than the required four pins that are blanked and you probably don't want to be using the wrong ones after all your time and effort bear in mind your also working closely with crucial ecu wiring so don't f*ck it up or your engine will most likely fail to start afterwards! I would double check you don't have the brown connector under the fusebox before you try this, I'll take a picture of it when I'm free

Hope it works out for you, I liked having it though it wasn't great at adjusting the speed up higher, being a 1.2 I guess that's how it is cruise control in my friends R32 however...

Cheers bud , ill have a ratch under the fuse box

The stilo is soo big to clean ,,, I used to having a small one to look after not a big one

Stilo is now almost on 189k and according do fuely im getting a avarge of 45 mpg on daily runs but this last week the mpg has been poor she has appeard with the same prob i had ,

driving along and it will randomly Just dump all boost ( makes a psssst noise ) and then willl build the boost back up and not do it again untill im around 2k rpm , on light throttle so if im around 2k to stop it hesitateing i just need to accelate hard ,,

oo and my Pass side rear light has had some problems before as it keeps flashing errors up , looks as if its a earth problem , but thats been sorted (Y)


apart from that shes doing well , due another service soon i think

Just a little update , I have bought a double din dvd unit , just waiting for it to arrrive

shes still eating up the miles , a friend broke down in his polo estate , Nero towed it with Ease had no problem draging it behing me on a tow rail

shes now on 192k soo i think ill have to be giving her a oil and filer service again soon

Well shes thew her toys out of the pram today

clutch peddle just drops to the floor , i think the Slave cylinder has pooed it self and lost all its pressurre and flud

uh oh....

Oh dear? sounds like its lets it's fluid go. Is there any fluid on the floor or around the gearbox?
