Never buy a fiat.
Sounds like it, that seems a bit much to change a headlight. Lol, I'm pretty sure they deliberately engineer modern cars to make it difficult for shade tree mechanics to work on.
Only Fiats I've ever come across were go-kart sized, do they have larger ones over there?
Tell me about it. I've got a second banger car for rubbish dump trips and knocking about in, currently lent to a friend, a 1991 twingo phase 1. Super easy to repair like all old cars. Simple mechanics, not freaking electronic looms, power windows, annoying beeps that come from nowhere and can't be shut off.
Fiat's are relatively rare even here, you see more of the larger vans, they seem to be popular but our specific one, a fiant qubo 2012 if you want to Google it, is pretty damn rare. Only ever seen a handful at the scrap yard, and the same number on the road. Haynes never even published a repair manual for it because it undersold (never heard of that happening before) but in the plus side whilst the engine is super underpowered, it is really fuel efficient. Diesel at the pump today was €1.719 / litre, so everything helps right? Parts are ridiculously priced though.
