COmpleted 12K on the Adventure. Oh yes, That was a bit faster than i thought i would. Never thought i would do so much running when i purchased this one. But its so comfortable that you love being inside the car

.

No major issues till now

. Just one of the rear brake drums gets stuck when i apply brake after a good wash. But after some running it becomes normal. Ice in a while i start hearing some kind of noise when i press the brakes. THis dissapears after i take it to the service station and they do some dusting and adjustments inside the drum. DOnt know how to solve it once and for all.

Well F.E is consistent. But i have increased my tyre pressure to what is recommended by FIAT. Around 30-31 psi in allfour tyres. The F.E has gone up to around 10-10.5 in city. Though the feeling of travellin on an air cushion is not there, i wouldnt say the ride comfort is bad. But i would recommend that if you can afford to have F.E at around 8.5-9 in city maintin 28-29psi and enjoy riding on a air cushion!!

Slightly off-topic, just got my FIAT UNO 1.2 back after some work. Needed some parts like swing arm, some bushes and a few other things. Was able to get the parts within a week. Not sure why all of us really cry over not getting parts for FIAT. Is it that we are unable to get original spares!!!

And i was just wondering. Is the 1.6 engine E-10 compatible?
