"Good at first, now downhill all the way"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The reliability seems to flounder with every service. Head gasket blew very recently after a catalog of engine stall problems.

The electrics are the imagination of Leland and alternator, starter motor and earthing problems are a constant bottomless pit into which much money has been thrown.

My Father-in-law has the same model and his has now developed the same starting/cutting out for no reason problems.

General comments?

Must be to do with M reg Tipo. I had years of happy motoring with my previous Fiat Panda.

Has anyone out there got the same problems relating to this year? If I could only have reliability for more than three months I would be a happy man indeed. I've decided to cut my loss it and sell if anyone wants it!

Dear steven if your tipo has been cutting out and stalling for no reson try changing the fly weel sensor as this will cure the problem of it cutting out.
