Also no pics of interior or under bonnet. With back-box and clutch/whatever issues it's a tow job to FCSS at least. He needs to try better... Cheap though. BumbleBee carer

Noise would most likely be the thrust race not the input bearing so for the money and the condition it does look like quite a nice Coupe. www.facebook.com/fiatcoupes

Mine is on a W plate. They were all made in the same factory so they should all have the same rust proofing? Here's hoping.....

But its a generalisation it really depends on the car and how its been looked after. You're not far from FCCS so if you find something you're not happy with Joe will be able to help.
