1997 Fiat Brava S from UK and Ireland - Comments

Fuel gauge broke.

I have had this car two years and I serviced it once. I drive this car hard and only service it if I absolutely have to. It is not a sports car, but that's not what you bought it for. Its large interior, and comfortable ride makes it a good car. Dealers, forget it.

I have a fiat brava 14s, It is a great car, but for all you owners out there please get the oil changed every 8000 or 9000 miles, I did not do this and to my suprise the engine kind of stopped working : (

this is a fault with a lot of the 14s, something to do with the pipes that take the oil to the top of the engine clogs up, (I am no mechanic, but this is what the garage told me) and if this happens it will be very expensive to repair. as I found out.

I, ve just got a brava 1.4 s the person who owned it be for me must have had the same problem as i, ve only had the thing 3 weeks and I'm having to have the whole of the top end of the engine replaced at a cost to me of £920. so I'm hoping no praying that it will be OK :}
