How's this for Italian reliability!

I'm running the 'yellow' plug.
A link to the fuel plug info for those who don't know - http://www.users.on.net/~craigf/fuelquality.htm

When I started driving the car I played with the plug over a few weeks for fuel economy. Originally had no plug. It drove terrible and was using ~11lt/100km [I've always used regular 92 octane for this car].

A few tanks ago, I ran 2 tanks of 98 octane after a little convincing by a friend. Got 9.5lt/100km for both tanks [yellow plug]. Back down to 92 and I'm sitting back around 7.2lt/100km.

I know it was a few weeks ago now, but Jazig.K you mentioned you bought the last radiator for a 75 in Aus and that is what your bro said.

I picked up a brand new radiator from Italian Automotive Spares in brunswick east just last week and fitted it over the weekend. they said they have a couple on the shelf at all times and are still available. Find it strange that a radiator place said they're not available anymore, or it could just be they're not interested in Italian cars and the supplier they use hasn't been asked for a 75 radiator in a long time.

Generic radiator place that he used to worked at with generic suppliers [He still works there on the odd occasion]. It was what the supplier had told him [the only supplier of a few who had a current listing for the 75]. What the parts places like IAS have might vary, but who made and supplied them? Can they still get them after their stock runs out?

Out of interest, I paid $140 for it [a good radiator brand name I'm told, escapes me atm].


Edit: And if they can still be gotten, fantastic. The 2 or 3 suppliers these guys use are no longer making/supplying them.
