    Fiat are so funny

    Went in to my local fiat dealer and went to the parts department.

    I am after some bush's for the front anti roll bar. Went in think they will be about £10 each. To my horror the guy (who was an arse) said £89 as you have to buy the whole anti roll bar. Balls to that

    Part-co sorted me out £6

    Wasnt the Wrexham one was it.... He sat at his computer for ages when i went there, then when i asked for abarth mats he gave me a quote for original fiat ones, then i said no abarth, he said well they'll be a bit more expensive (never have guessed!)

    About £70 - £80 for spark plug leads from fiat too.

    I had to buy a new offside engine mount in my local Fiat dealer. £80!! but unfortunatly I couldnt get hold of it from anywhere else. They told me it has to come from Italy!

    I tried everywhere for the engine mount but other places only had the standard punto engine mount not the sporting offside engine mount!

    They quoted me £300 for the clutch, but i got another quote from a clutch specialist for £200.

    They charged me £16 quid just to have a look over my car for 15 minutes. lol

    Daylight Robbery!
