My 2000 model Weekend has a very ropey looking crossmember which sits under the radiator. Any tips where to get a new one?

fiat probably, it's spot welded in place though i'm afraid....
Hi, I'm not sure if they will do the bit your looking for but this website is good for salvage parts, I've used it a couple of times, recently for a headlight for my Marea HLX.

Well, sounds easier in theory. Actually, could just pull the damn thing out it is so crusty. Can imagine driving along and hearing a thud as I drive over my radiator..... if it aint the crossmember, what would it be called? Anyone got an Eper disc and can give me the number.
Have to say this Marea Weekend is such an underated car. I bought it for £750 from the local auction. 2000 on a W, 71k miles. Ok, needed £300 to get it through the MOT but it has now done 3000 miles in 2 months and everything works. Air con blows icy, windows good, boot catch fine (though i did coat it in WD40 just in case). Does around 500 miles a tank (its the 1747 engine). Carried a whole lot of junk in it. I would defo get another if this goes bang. A 2.4 jtd would be nice but very rare by the looks of it.

Getting hold of a 2.4 JTD is pretty hard. They're awesome cars but they come with a high-performance maintenance cost.
you would be better off getting a 1.9JTD 110bhp lot more mile to the gallon and very little difference in speed
