Just joined after looking for advice on a problem with my 2001 Marea Weekend 110 JTD which I've had since nearly new as an ex-demo at 5000m and has now done 75000m. Had Fiats on and off all my life, mostly small ones, 127, Pandas as well as a Seat Marbella. This is my first Fiat main car and also first diesel. Has had some niggly faults, mostly eccentric Magnetti Marelli electrics, but generally love the car and want to cure it, so may post the problem on the Marea Forum if local dealer can't sort it this time (they've had a couple of goes already. I'm blowing black smoke and diagnosis is over-boost valve problem but a new OB valve hasn't done the trick). Helpful as they are, they're the only main dealer hereabouts as far as I know, are very busy and do tend to replace parts rather than try to repair or clean them. If all else fails I'll try a diesel/auto electric specialist, Hinkley Valtone in Bridgwater of whom I hear good reports, but now the dealer has started and I've paid out C£250 so far, I'm going to give them a chance to fix it.
