1995 Fiat Tempra IE S review from UK and Ireland
"Few faults, but a lovable rough"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator replaced at 65.000 Cost 120.00 (Sterling) No pound sign on this keyboard.
Recently the immboliser has started playing up, the red key light stays on & refuses to start sometimes in the worst places (sure it knows what its doing just does it to play with my head) been quoted 100 Sterling to disable it... just hoping its going to go away though (Ye right)
All the inside trim rattles like a smack head doing cold turkey.
Intermittent electrical fault on most of the dash board lights.
Space saving spare wheel even though the space is full size leaving a large dip in the boot, for all your shopping to roll down.
General comments?
Even after all the faults I've had it's still a lovely car to drive excellent acceleration for a car this age & size.
Quite a high seating position gives clear view.
Loads of space & comfortable.
Been very reliable in the engine department shame about the immboliser.
All in all a good family car (well my wife likes it)
