. It seems the 'new' scuttle is still two-piece, but made of a 'stiffer' plastic to stop it bowing.

WATER INGRESS
fiat part number for the 2.2l cover is 55212592
Current Fiat fixes (not official recalls)
5209 - Gearbox bearing (3.0 litre only)?
5219 - Steering rack - I think this is a check the seals and regrease
5220 - Starter motor???
5221 - Corroding injectors - some 'stuff' is applied to remove the corrosion, and then Waxoyl is applied to stop it happening again
5222 - ABS cntrol unit cover
5223 - Front wiper cover
5247 - Fuel injection flash - a 'reprogramming' of the Engine Management System to stop a warning light coming on
5248 - Starter fuse - the fuse is being uprated
5251 - Power steering pipe - check fixing and relocate if necessary
BATTERY
Reports of engine battery becoming flat after only 2 days of non-use. Measurement show discharge of 0.4 Amps with all equipment turned off.
THUD ON STARTUP
When starting the engine, there is a solid 'thud' from underneath the cab. Suggestions are that it might be the exhaust pipe hitting something, or the engine mountings holding the engine too close to part of the chassis.
JUDDER IN REVERSE
When reversing up a slope, the whole van judders. Members have tried meny methods of reducing this, with differing driving styles. There has been a suggestion that the reverse gear is too high a ratio.
Any further information, please PM me with it, or post in the main thread, as this thread / post is locked.
