I finally reached the end my tether with my Croma last December and moved it on.

After spending nearly £550 on a new alternator, a new MAS, New steering pump power lead I decided enough is enough and let it go after 7 years .

The opportunity of getting a 4 year old Ford Focus estate diesel at a decent price was enough to make me decide.

What is strange is I actually quite miss the Croma. If only Fiat built them to a better standard it would have been a very good car.

Will stilll be using this great forum as I have a Fiat Panda, which I think is a great little car and after 2 years has proved to very reliable.
