£270 is probably about right for the diesel as the actual kit costs about double what the 1.2's costs I think, well according to shop4parts it is. Cost about £150 for my 1.2 last month from a Fiat/Alfa independent. Fiat themselves were asking over £300

Not sure about the Gates kit. Have heard it's not as good as the Fiat OE one, though could be totally wrong. Someone more in the know may be able to relay any experiences with them.

Not for a stilo but the info still applies..

And on 2 blo*dy cars for the tax and insurance!

That was the one bit of advise my Dad gave me when getting a car, spread out the costs. Hence my insurance renewal in January, tax in February, service in March and MOT in September. Helps a bit, but I'm always struggling for cash

Now that I've edited it to include where I pay my tax, it kinda shows that it's not quite as spaced out as I'd like it to be. Oh well.

my tax is up end of sept, mot on 7th oct and insurance renewal on 26th oct. gonna be great for me too. lol
