Hiya,
I drive a bog standard Marea 1.6 16v SX.
Bought it with 33K on the clock, almost as new, with the intention of keeping it as an everyday run around for a year or so.
Never given me major trouble, (apart from wear and tear) so never sold it on....fast forward a few years, Im onto 84K with no major problems yet!
Just had it serviced & it Sailed through its MOT last week.
Did have an advisory note attached:
"Nearside & Offside front anti-roll bar linkage has slight play in a ball joint."
Is this a expensive / big problem to rectify?
I am a little weary that high mileage Fiats could be troublesome....is there any cause to panic?
Was looking to run it through for another year, as I average 10-13K a year, but am i likely to get a lot of problems when the car's done a mileage in the region of 95,000, am i better off selling up now?
Thanks & regards!
