I think something like this

http://fiatbarchetta.com/btech/btcontents.html

is very useful, even though this list is incomplete (well, will it ever be complete?), somewhat outdated and the instructions vary a lot in details and language. Anyway I like the structure and the quick overview it gives... I'm not sure who's responsible for the fiatbarchetta.com site, it's seems like it was quit a while since it was updated...

As a side note, I found this description on how to fix the variator problem by replacing a spring and a piece of plastic inside the variator (spending only about €4, spare part no 71715450). Unfortunately (for you non Swedish speaking guys) you might have some linguistic issues
If there's any interest I could translate it...

that varitor would be good in english and i will check the other stuff this is a good start keep going

Would it be possible to put something similar to the list on fiatbarchetta.com here on fiatforum? I think gathering all this information in a thread would result in some :bang::bang: trying to find what one is looking for.... Another benefit from getting a nice and quick overview is that one may find things to fix before it really becomes a problem...

its a little quiet in here must mean nothing goes wrong with the B great

Actually guys, what would be a better solution would be some kind of user editable wiki page. I might set one up....

That's a great idea! I see there's a lot on the German site barchetta-lexikon.de also. Some friendly German speaking soul might help us out with some translations...my German is limited too Googling and guessing

I've set up a very basic wiki site. I'll explain more in another post

http://wiki.buyscottishgifts.com/

I'll get a better domain name if I get some interest.

Does anyone know if we can steal the articles from fiatbarchetta.com? I can't see any copyright statements anywhere... Ian Barnett seams to be responsible for the site or the content... anyone in this forum who's been in contact with him?

Wiki is all open source.
