Hi Gang,
Not technically a Fiat Croma but I have an opportunity to purchase a 1987 Lancia Thema ie Turbo today and was just looking for general feedback with regards to reliability/common problems. I always value your help on here for my classic Fiat's and this seems a good opportunity to expand my collection. Lancia club needs an annual fee and I just wanted to ask some questions.
It's last mot was 2017 (no advisories) own by an old farmer that passed away but clearly used it as a workhorse i.e. caked in mud, tatty interior with broken trim and straw in the boot (and a towbar lol).
It drives and seems solid (surface rust on subframe etc).
I know I'll need the cambelt done and a service minimum.
Just wanted some general feedback from Croma owners with regards to using as a daily driver and common faults to look for.
Thanks,
Dominic
