[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 691542, member: 323322"] Not the usual kind of topic hereabouts, but it might be of interest to some. SWMBO and I have his and hers Fiat Grande Puntos and I took mine for its MoT this am. Four years old and only 18k on t'clock. Failed ............ front coil spring broken 'O'-red Immediate thought: "So**ing Council and their inadequate/absent pothole repairs" Asked to see the offending item and it is clear it has been broken for a long time. The good news being, I suppose, that such a failure doesn't seem to result in catastrophe. The bad news is that I checked the Interweb thingy after I got home in their beaten up Courtesy Car, and it seems this is not uncommon on Fiats of 2006 vintage. So, you have been warned! Obviously normal Sod's Law applies in that they fail just after the Warranty is up. Yours, slightly poorer, but infinitely safer Gordon [/QUOTE]
