Technical Common Service Information Between Models?

[combwork]

Hi.

After writing to Haynes, it seems that they have no plans to publish an English language manual for the Multipla; I don't know if they publish one in a different language; I asked them but they didn't say.

Are there any written manuals, (published either by Haynes or anyone else) that cover other Fiats with common mechanical components (brakes, engine/transmission etc.) to the Multipla? I know there are Multipla manuals on CD, but the two I've tried seem to be not a lot of good........

One thought. Fiat agents must have specific service sheets/information for the Multipla. What would be the chances of obtaining this information and making it available to Multipla owners through this website? I tried my local agents (Arnold Clark) to see if they could get me service information for the Multipla. They were friendly, but said `no'.

The mechanical parts of a Multipla are the same as a Bravo/Brava so you may get some help from that section of the forum

I have tried many times to get Haynes to produce one, but as you say no plans to release one

Thanks Gary,

I'm not sure what total U.K. sales were for the thing; I suspect not enough to justify Haynes costs but I wonder if they've considered producing a manual that covers the basics on the Multipla/Bravo/Brava or anything else with common elements, with specialised `add in' sections for different vehicles available separately? It's just a thought................
