richbraith Posted August 5, 2017 Author Share Posted August 5, 2017 Air in the heater matrix. Had one the same, ended up leaving it running with the front end hiked up at a 45 degree angle on a two post lift.That's how mine started! Sounded like there was a stream running behind the dash.

RoadworkUK Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 These have among my favourite rear lights of the '90s. They look good on the back of Beulas coaches, too. fiatdaft and richbraith 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiatdaft Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Also they unscrew easily and provide a nice flat mount for magnetic towing lights ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hennabm Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I had the 1.4 DGT - H544 LFS in maroon. The thing was all right and very useful when we had the fuel crisis back at the start of the century. Instead of having to queue for unleaded, I was able to go up to the LRP pump and get as much as I needed. as it was pre cat.Also useful when travelling abroad as a push of a button converted the readout to KMH. richbraith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramz7 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Heater matrix it is then..... Theres a really sheddy one on Auto Trader for £250, sans MOT. Cost me £45 more for a fully working one.... So, I think I figured out why there is so many left in Italy, they command decent coin! Here is a good example: https://www.autoscout24.com/offers/fiat-tipo-1100-dgt-gasoline-white-a34c264e-e2e8-b15f-e053-e250040ad182?cldtidx=3 Or if you're feeling a bit underwhelmed by the normal interior... https://www.autoscout24.com/offers/fiat-tipo-1-6-i-e-cat-5-porte-suite-gasoline-silver-78ce0653-3d5a-6e15-e053-e350040a67f0?cldtidx=8 richbraith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richbraith Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 That one on autotrader is identical to the dead driveway one near me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2_craig Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Tipos are great. I wish I had bought Nigel Mansells old one when it popped up on eBay a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pillock Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Yeah he had a Tipo Quatteovalveywalvey when he was driving for Ferrari. Edit: it was a DGT! Maybe he needed a few more podium finishes to get the better one. richbraith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk2_craig Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I had thought it was a sediciv... but a quick hunt suggests not, badge says granturismo. Guernsey registration definitely correct though. http://www.corgi-world.nl/90tipo.htm CGSB and RichardK 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richbraith Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 That's not a model I've ever seen before, wonder if it was a one off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2_craig Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Appears to be, certainly not seen another in that colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramz7 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Gran Turismo was a legit model. However BRG was limited to the Mansell edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It runs nicely, and handles well too, the steering is very direct. Shame the paint is flat and the door channels on the rear door like to rust but its good otherwise. I like to think this one is a keeper but I am up to three keeper cars now, and a daily, which is bordering uncomfortable car levels. One of my favourite features on the Tipo, is that if you want to enter POWER mode you have to be travelling at 6000rpm. No thanks. Glad you got your one back Rich. Hi do you still have the Tipo ?
