1993 Fiat Tipo IE review from UK and Ireland

Clutch master & slave cylinders.
Broken timing belt.
Water pump leak(s).
Alternator failure.

General comments?
Would never, ever ever buy another Fiat. This vehicle has made me the laughing stock of the neighbourhood as I am never away from the car as it requires constant maintenance.
