I have a 1997 Fiat Marea Weekend ELX (estate) with the 5 cylinder engine. The cambelt is due a change and the heater matrix is leaking. Even though I can do these jobs myself the time and money involved isn't worth the effort so I'm going to break the car and flog the bits, I just need to find some sort of on-line selling site ;-)Anyhoo, what parts are worth keeping to sell and what should I just take to the scrapman? From a quick look at eBay it would seem the projector style headlights go for a bit of cash to Bravo/Brava owners wanting to change the looks. Is the 5 cylinder/20v worth taking out? Is it the same as that in the Coupe? Any common electrical parts across the Fiat range that regularly fail?Thanks in advance.John

Can probably flog the engine whole to someone who has blown theirs up by neglecting to change the cambelt :) Idle control valves tend to get sticky, headlights as you say are good for Bravo owners (make sure you include the loom for them too, seem to recall the sidelights need some imagination to hook up), engine is the same as that in the coupe though obviously without the turbo. Rear disks and calipers would be useful to Bravo owners who want to do a rear disk conversion, centre console with armrest is another Bravo mod. Power steering pump / rack can be costly so I'd flog them, alternator, assorted bits of trim (what colour is it?), possibly doors/body panels/bonnet for if someone has had a bump in a similar coloured one. Electric window and central locking motors, stalk switchgear, steering wheel + airbag and airbag ECU, now I come to think of it it could be a nice little earner :) Oh, and alloy wheels if you have them - someone always has a kerbed/buckled one that needs...

Heh.

Makes me laugh how much money some of 'em have thrown at 1.2 or 1.4 poverty 'S' models.

There's some real monstrosities been produced, most of which seem to be classed as 'top cars'.
