Hi all...
well its been some months in the making and it has hardly changed in that time but I have finally added some more stuff to it and its now up and running. SO BOOKMARK IT!!
It's not perfect, but, if everyone would contribute to it with pictures and "how to's" we would all benefit from a massive resource. It will never rival a Haynes manual but its something for the "DIY er" or person in trouble who wants to make an informative guess or print off, take to their garage and say..."Could it be this?"

Now, when you think of all the stuff we have talked about, all the data we have generated, regurgitated and written about I think this is a useful way forward but...it does need more stuff and all help would be appreciated.

So, if you fix something, take a few piccies, slap it in a word doc with some notes and send it to me. You all know how to reach me, or should by now, but if not, there is a link on the contact me page at www.multiplaowners. co.uk .

So where is it you ask?
There are links at... www.multiplaowners. co.uk on the front page under news, in the section marked "stuff" or, if you want to go direct to it it is here...https://sites. google.com/ site/fiatmultipl a/Home


Finally, if you have promised me some help or can offer to help it would be nice... most on this forum ask for help at sometime and many are kind enough to give help...you know who you are and which category you fall into so this is a chance to give something back to the forum and its users!
