I have just read this thread , I have been to busy with work and family to sit down and look. I own 2 Lancia Y's one is a 1997 and the other is a 2003 both different models . The 97 one is a 12.42 16v , I have for about 5yrs and find the running of it a joy . I replaced the wishbones with Fiat punto parts which I bought in my local motor factors . The same for the exhaust , a Punto sporting middle and back box with a little mod for the tail pipe . I had to change the front pipe and this required changing the flange that connects to the manifold as the fiat one is slightly different , this required welding . Brake discs ,pads , shoes ,oil filters , and all service items are standard Fiat items . I put beam benders on the lights and had no problem with the test. Compared to running my Fulvia and Flavia and Thema It's simple when you walk in to your local motor factor and ask for a part and its there !
. Make sure the drain pipes in the scuttle beside the bulkhead are clear or it will fill with water and flow through the heater and into the car and ruin the heater fan , which can be found in any scrap yard for about a tenner if you need one . Happy Motoring
