Hi all ive a 2000 w plate sporting and it looks great but im having nothing but problems with it since i bought it two weeks ago :-( head gasket radio and now it wont start.
Very unhappy
 
So... you just came on here to bitch about a Fiat or are you looking for help?
Did you buy a duffer super cheap or was it good when you got it / test drove it?
How much was it?
What Service - Repair history did it come with & how many owners has it had?
How long did the last owner keep it?
Did you buy it privately or from a Garage / Dealer?

Tell us something useful to go on.... it's 10 years old.. it will have things go wrong, thats why people aspire to newer cars constantly.

Who did the gasket?
Was it done properly, fit an aftermarket sound system.

Is there petrol in, do you have sparks?
Has it not started since the Head gasket was done..?

Body work is in excellent condition for age..68000 miles six owners last six mots,everything worked when i test drove it,but im beggining to think i bought a shed as the last owner only had it four weeks but said was getting shut because he wasnt going to uni anymore.

This Thread was the first of the 2 from you I saw on the same subject fazerboy thats why.

To be honest there is nothing for anyone to go on, I think you know you bought a bad un... Could be very costly to fix & time consuming too.

Really you should have seen the signs (lots of owners & the latest for a very short time period) & ignored the excuses from the seller, looks like they stitched you up.

Best advice?

Do as they did... Sell it...
 
Cheers dave and thanks for the advice,yeah i bought a bad un,but i dont wanna get rid and i wouldnt offload it like the previous owner did
