I've just bought a stilo abarth. When I got it I noticed it was blowing a bit thought it would be no problem to sort out turns out the flexi pipe at the front has broken I has searched the Internet benn to motorsave and ats I can't get this part anywhere in the end I called the dealer turns out the pipe and gasket is gonna cost me £112 is there anyone who can help me out with this problem.
OK, so 2010 is now well under way and the silver beastie did bloody well in the 'big' weather - there may be more of that, so I won't say it's done yet! - those nice Vredestein Quatrac 3 tyres I bunged on did a grand job and I didn't get stuck in the snow.
