On sunday imranbhatti and me planned few D.I.Ys at my home. he came in afternoon.
it was heavily raining when he arrived and poor streets were filled with water.

imranbhatti opened its rear lights to clean and check the inside view.
he noted the covers are genuine but some desi work done inside the covers. like that reflector.

saqib bhai please comment

Rear seat belts are missing.
good to hear that a car assembled in pakistan was having rear seat belts.

Last sunday i went to beeberg place to fix my car wiring After reaching near to his home i came to know that i have to cross a river which was not supposed to be there in normal case so i follow a three door Prado to cross that river & finally reaches beeberg place & after that i found many things hanging around my car.
I had fix some wiring problem that day which results in all six indicators working rite now. The next step is to trace & fix the wiring for HVAC system.

@beeberg
Yar its not possible with out your help i ll let u know the plan for upcoming weekend.
Can u post some pics covered by ur Cell phone camera on last sunday.

There is only one reflector for Fog light opriginaly. Rest of it is all black the way it is in the picture.
I was thinking of putting on silver reflective paint at the back of each light to improve the glow which is a downside of these lights. Also they gets dirty very often but any attempt to seal them results in melting like Bhatti's car has some bent plastic on top. i think someone has tried to seal the light to prevent dust enetering but its not adviseable. Best is to open and clean the lights periodicaly. Its a 10 minute DIY

I have made the HVAC work, it is partialy functional now. My Friend Amin has played the major part. Old Lahore members havce met him coz he came to one of lahore meets. A real gem of a person but not a member at PW

One thing is missing in this console and that is a music player.
imranbhatti do find a good one from chorr bazaar and fit it right there

clean dash board. thanks to mechanics and previous owners that they didnt damage this precious thing.

(its so boring to upload pics on pakwheels it is damn slow in uploading)

[spectra]

Some local expert has definately played around with this panel because i can see some other things missing as well.

[imranbhatti]

@ spectra
Agreed

I think we are at same pace as far as Uno project is concern as u say above to spray silver paint to improve reflection, beleive me yesterday i bought two spray paint container White & silver to do the exactly same thing.
To perform this activity first we need to paint internal side of frame with white & then with Silver coz direct spray of silver on black body will not work good.

@imranbhatti

yar its so boring to upload pics coz it is taking so much time. i am using net super sonic mode . i get around 50k download
but pakwheels really annoys me when i upload pics. they get uploaded in no time but real time it takes while resizing and putting pakwheel.com on every pic

I like the seats of Fiat. way comfortable and smooth.

[spectra]

Comfort is by far the highest i have seen in a small car. You are lucky to have the original gear knob and gear lever cover. mine are both pathetic and after market. I am in search of the original one.

@Spectra

[spectra]

[gttx]

i have finally ordered four boxes of genuine MOBIL oil from Karachi. will reach in coupl of days.

[imranbhatti]

[nak]

till date did anyone face a clutch problem?? secondly Spectra bhai the original gear knob is very pathetic..believe me u r going to hate it

[spectra]

clutch is crisp the way it should be.
BTW @nak
what are u driving these days, coz u seem to have had every problem possible in your FIAT

[imranbhatti]

@Spectra
I think nak is the worst affected owner of Uno & his experience includes all possible problem caused by Uno. Now a days he is driving Cultus or may be some other cars too.

@nak
Am i right ?

[nak]

Lolll!!!..actually we bought a brand new Fiat..there were many manufacturing faults n by the time when we sold it for 280000, we had almost replaced/altered each n every part of it which was causing problem..for instance we replaced its clutch cylinder with that of a mercedes (with some alterations)..then it was doing absolutely fine..secondly we replaced its power windows motors with that of a nissan...obviously the original parts were not available at hand...secondly we replaced its speedo cable twice coz the needle used to vibrate..but even then it would start to vibrate after some days n then we didnt bother the third time :D...so wat i want to say is that may be ur cars have already been altered..when we were selling Fiat, i was not in favour of selling it coz by then it was doing fine but then my dad wasnt willing to keep it..we sold that car in isb..it was the cleanest Fiat one could find both in isb or peshawar..it was white in color n its number was Peshawar N-2299..may be u people would have seen it in isb.
