Probably the rad. They do tend to block up,I’ve found. You need to sort it quickly or you’ll cook the engine..
Getting them out ( of an ,850) is a pain, but you’ll find it’s heavier than expected.
Caustics saved one, lost two, so I tend to go for a record.
Also, check the fan belt, it may be slipping ( less likely).
Deep joy.

If removing the rad is the same pain in the arse as from a 600, I'd rather do another set of P6 rear brakes.

I haven't been ignoring you guys. I'm just disappointed with this whole thing.
Will have to wait a bit and get some money put on the side to sort it out. Or get it transported here or I don't know...

Seriously, can't the car be transported here so we can sort it?

Good morning.
Thought I might pop in and write something.
F133 is currently in car spa in Poland getting some attention. Unfortunately after closer inspection of the work done in UK by a regarded restorer, I lost any trust in people doing their job right without looking at their hands at every possible opportunity. Quite frankly I was stupid thinking that it can be done properly without me being there.
I am not even going to start listing things that were fucked up, said to be done and plainly made worse.

Here is my beauty in current state. You can also hear it roar a bit in a video here:

Re: stillOrange's circle of cars - Fiat 133
Good evening,
Well the time has come. The car is finally tucked away safely in my garage in snowy Sweden.
Fuck me, it took fucking ages.
But anyway, F133 is now pretty and runs great. Turns stops and all that shit.
It also makes me happy whenever I look at it and that's what's most important innit.
It will take few weeks to sort out registration and other stuff but no rush as without proper winter tires it's not allowed on the roads anyway.
Will wait until spring anyway because of it's biggest enemy, road salt.
Have some pictures:
And lastly, happy me, checking if any salt is left on the precious metal...

Looks superb.
Growing up my neighbours daughter had one - pale blue. Known as toilet blue as it was the colour of choice for school bathrooms for, well, ever.

It's a weird one first of all. So weird that it's interesting, so ugly that it's pretty.
Funnily enough, they are racing cars in Finland...
