First of all let me introduce myself. My names Tom and I was given a Fiat Bravo 1.2 as a sort of starting point after I passed my test recently.
IT is great to be here on the forum and will be posting as regular as possible.
So first off, a big hello to all you Fiat enthusiasts.
Now, for my query; Despite Fiats reputation for breaking down on a regular basis, I haven't had any major problems with my car in the last 5 months of owning it. Lately the front downpipe has got a lovely hole in it, which as you know is causing the exhaust to blow. Now along from this being annoying and sounding like a 1960's Mini, I'm also losing some of the little 80bhp I have. I bought a new downpipe, and was waondering if anyone here could give me adivce on fitting it. I'm not anything special with cars so this is a first for me.
Also how complicated is fixing the heat shield too? Mine has begun to rattle, but that's all I can report on this problem since I haven't had a look at it yet.
Thank you in advance
Tommy
