General Fiorino pick up

[AIJ29]

Hi
I`m after info on the fiorino pick up,i`ve found a couple of pictures on the net(which i`ve posted in the uno section)
Just wondering about specs etc and what are they like to live with/drive and could the disel motor come out and make way for an uno turbo lump,
Also are they leaf sprung at the rear?
Cheers
Adrian

Hi, have just got a Pick up from the dreded Ebay for £400. drove it 200miles home and it was sweet all the way look good. Biger than the caddy I think, and smaller than the big Toyota and Hilux trucks.

Had a shop around for spares and £17 for rear light cover, £30 for door rubber.
MPG on the way home ? well I put £20 in at the start of the trip and I think I would be lyeing if I would need to put more than a £5 to catch up. .

Hope this helps warm regards chris.

which side light cover do you need, as i have a spare for the passenger side . Also if your anywhere near Newcastle, A scrapyard called Gosforth Autos has an M reg fiorino van in

Hi its the right hand side. I have taken it of and blown it with a hot air gun to close the gap up, with a small bit of super glue to seal the crack, live on the south coast Newhaven.

How do we go about manual for the truck any idea??
keep safe regards chris.

Try getting a Porter manual for a fiat uno, as that covers the fiorino too

Hi what is a porter manual? have not heard of them, regards chris.

It does? The cars may look the same but the engines are different. The Fiorino is based on the Brazilian version of the Uno, not the Italian one. The engine bay is quite different and the same goes for the engines.

Thank you, so what is it that you are saying the porter manual would be no good, and that parts for a uno would not fit?? so back to my first Q where would I get a manual from, regards chris.

 

[christopher watson]

the porters manual WOULD be of use, have a look on ebay for one, or go to your local main dealer (were originally sold through fiat).

Thank you Watson for the disc link. I will measure the diameter of my discs to see if they really are the right type.
Any idea for the schockabsorbers?
I need strong ones because I use the car as a workmule for my house and garden in France.
I bought it for 700€ and put 300€ in repairs.
Maybe it is worth tuning ...
regards,
Hugo

Monroe originals on the front (part number - 11152), Monroe original gas filled on the back (part number - 25490). I would also recommend getting a magic camber pack (part number - MC110), so you can adjust the camber of the suspension easily (the details given are only for post 1993 fiorinos).
