And one year later!!! I had to buy a new battery charger as the last one was only knocking out 10.6 volts so bought one that would go into conditioning mode when the battery was fully charged. The Y10 was an obvious candidate as it had not been ran for a while so after a few hours charge we started the engine up and gave it a nice long 15 minute run up unfortunately inside as it is jammed in behind all those Appias! anyway managed to get it to run quite smoothly at tickover with the choke in and the temperature gauge in the centre by putting the heater to max (on even had the radio on) this meant the radiator fan never came on until the engine was switched off. Result! it even got to move under it's own power for about 6 inches real progress.

Update!
Managed to source a new windscreen and still looking for a new screen rubber. Hoping to get the sills and screen surround welded soon and then get the new screen in so the car can be used.

Now I am retired the excuses will be harder to come by, however moving house is always a good one but this time with a benefit of being 5 minutes walk from the unit, but not till November. Anyway I came into the possession of a variety of Y10 spares including a few TURBO ones, let me know what you need and it could appear at the AGM.

If you have a brake fluid reservoir cap with the low fluid warning system intact that would be welcome as mine is broken and being highlighted as an advisory on the MOT.

No progress on the Y10 as work, moving house, fitting extra doors to the unit, etc etc have got in the way. Hopefully we will be moved by the end of October and I will endeavour to get some work done on the Y10.

And a year later...The Y10 got some attention today as I exhumed it from under the car cover, stuck some petrol in (only 6 months old) cleaned up all the mess some rodents had made, put a fully charged battery on and spun it over. After a few pops we got ignition on 2 or 3 cylinders and with a bit of revving and a big puff of blue smoke we got a lumpy 4. Seeing as it was a sunny day and not raining we gave the Y10 a quick 5 laps of the unit and popped it into the main corridor for an overnight stay. I will have a better play tomorrow with some new petrol.

Anyone know if a Y10 Turbo gearbox will fit a FIRE engined car? The gear change is very poor even after I changed the bushes at the stick end and changed the relay at the box end for a new one. The Turbo gearbox looks like it might have done about 50,000 miles whereas the original box has done over 99,000 miles.

I'm pretty sure the Turbo uses the "Brazil" engine so its gear box won't fit a "Fire" engine. I may still have a spare box other than the one I need for my 1100 Fire but it's not the weather to go rooting about in the shed at present. I may have a firewall insulation panel too.

Hi Frank
You are a star...I think I might have a insulator pad or did I throw it out, I will check. I would be interested in the gearbox but I feel the change has got worse despite changing the obvious bits that wear, could it be the gearbox oil?

I've not had gearbox issues other than linkage bushes but otherwise my Fire is at 117,000 miles with the only problem being weak synchro on 2nd gear.

It feels as if there is no return spring to keep the lever in the central position. I have thrown out the heater insulation as it was in a worse condition than the one that is on...but not anymore! so if you come across one in good condition let me know. I will have another look at the linkage to see if it is sticking or needs a bit of lubrication.

I have two spare gearboxes but the insulation panel seems to be one of those things that took up too much space and was unlikely to be needed. The centring action on the gear lever seems to be inside the gearbox not on the shift levers but worn or breaking up bushes make the shift incredibly vague which would stop the centring action from being transmitted back to the gear lever. Cup bushes for the control rods and bushes for the pivot post on the bulkhead are standard Fiat items and should be freely available.

Hi all
Further investigation of the workshop manual reveals there are sets of springs that affect the gearchange so that will be a starting place . It seems the springs will be accessible from the top of the gear box so a win-win situation. The car has been outside under a tarp since last Easter so it may well be a gummy set of springs to sort out.
