Wanted Looking for a good Fiat mechanic close to south coast

[nigel bickle]

I'm trying to sort out some of Nigels cars, that others seem to have abused then just dumped back on him, whilst hospitalized. Friends & family ... eh?

 

Anyway, I need a knowledgeable Fiat mechanic that understands Fiat Bravos -the HGT (5 cyl) ones.

 

His seems to have burst a pipe/ or the water pump/ or a core plug directly beneath the inlet manifold -judging by the steam that issues forth between each cylinder once warm /revved.  Not something I've ever seen before & doubtless bad for the engine. Cant be right- but having said that it all sounds & acts fine.

 

I'm not local -and Nige isn't in a position to ask right now, so wondered if anyone here might recommend a sensible Italian oriented spanner monkey to have a looksee? Its way way beyond my skill set, and I'm anxious not to get ripped off on someone else's expense a/c.

 

I'll drive it a short distance, tow it a bit further (although I'm not good at it) to get it sorted....

 

Thanks chaps, Stu

I had a pretty good experience with the Gonella brothers in south London. That was a while back now though.

Maybe worth asking on the Fiat Coupe forum- good guys and the same engine. If they don't know no one will....

Ta, I will. Didn't know such a thing existed!

 

Everyday a school day. Cheers
