What car is it?

It's a 1997 Fiat Cinquecento 900cc. Main bit I'm looking for is a new
thermostat, as it's running a bit hot and I don't think the thermostat
is opening fully. Perhaps also a new fan switch.


Take the thermo out and dip it in water that the engine temp per normal runs
at? to see if its functioning properly.

2 other things to consider - radiator and water pump.

What possed you to buy her a FIAT?

Perhaps because he doesn't believe in 30 year old stereotypes?
