"Great van when it runs which is not often"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Engine mount collapsed, caught cam belt and trashed a rocker and valve.

Loom burnt out.

Fuel computer died.

Gear selector mechanism failed.

Now it conks out when warm and will not start until cooled down, any suggestions?

General comments?

Performance, size and use is fantastic when it is running, unfortunately this is not very often.

This is the first and last Fiat I will ever buy, which is a shame as it does everything I want of it very well except for its reliability.

Any clues to the previous question about it stopping when warm?

This individual buys a car that is 5 years old, over 100K miles. They make no mention of service history or who they have had to attempt a repair on this vehicle, which probably means it's not actually been to anyone who knows what they are doing. As they say, it does everything they want it to do, but for the sake of spending a little money with someone who knows what they are doing the ownership experience is poor, much like their review.

Even if it been fully serviced it would not affect the engine mount, its not a serviceable part, and he has a right to his opinion same as you or I.
