worth saving?

With his much older brother....everything seems to be there except an alloy wheel.... so free off and overhaul the brakes... get the engine running... easy

That looks well worth it! I'm envious of your headlamp protectors.

I thought they were beam correctors for using the car on the continent...The car came with a couple of spare headlamps so that was nice.

Going by my experience you ought to take off the back bumper while you are sorting it out and thoroughly inspect the bumper mounts and back corners of the rear arches.

Now I'm getting things into some kind of order I'd love a little Y10, that one looks a peach 

I'd forgotten about the little fold down cover for the radio. I remember when I worked at a used car place when these were just a few years old and a prospective buyer questioned why no radio...

[lancianut666]

the radio needs a code....checked the wheels for rotational ability and 3 will spin by hand but the passenger side front is stuck might be where that new caliper in the boot is meant to go. Me and Terry might have a look on Monday.

If you can't get the code, I'm sure I've got one of those units still kicking around. If not, I've definitely got some others from various other Lancias over the years.

Thanks Andy...I have a couple of Sony car minidisc players that will fit in as well, also a minidisc autochanger so I should be able to get some tunes going.

Don't know if it's true but wasn't there a rumour that if you put the radio in the freezer for a while it will work again? Not sure what the theory was - maybe to kill an internal battery holding the info you no longer have?  Has anybody else heard of this or tried it?

[frankxhv773t]

I have heard the freezer trick but never tried it. Given the stack of codeless radios that I have it would be interesting to know if it works.

[lancianut666]

Hmmm popular urban myth from the heyday of the twocker fraternity or scientific fact? I know the voltage of a battery will drop as the temperature drops perhaps a eeprom in the circuit board will lose it's memory?
