Back at the end of April the Stilo disgraced itself when the n/s front spring shattered and blew up the new tyre - not at home ofcourse, it happened on one of the most inaccesible spots on the west coast of Scotland when I'd taken my wife away for her birthday Under warranty the car was repaired and I requested at that time that the spring on the drivers side was replaced..... FIAT said no, but they'd get the dealer to check it.
Cut forward to this evening and, whilst reversing out of the drive to take the good lady out to dinner, guess what ? That's right. The drivers side spring has shattered fortunately the tyre hasn't been shredded this time but unfortunately the warranty has run out
I'll be in touch with FIAT tomorrow morning and see what they're prepared to do about this - it's f*cking ridiculous that a modern cars springs should shatter in under 35K miles.
I'll keep you all appraised. Here's hoping my day on the 'phone to FIAT will not prove too "character building" :bang:
