I too found something in a Fiat Uno
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
, a then two year old A reg (08/1983-07/1984) 55L model that I bought cheaply as an uninsured loss after it was involved in a multiple pile up. The car was measured up and found to be dead true, so it was refreshed with new bonnet, front wings, tailgate, one rear door, one D post and a damned good clean as the interior was a proper toilet. I bottomed the car at work because that interior was so bad and last of all, after making the filthy seats and mats look new again, opened the ashtray to remove that for a good dicht in the parts bath. Inside, the ashtray was already clean, maybe because the owner hadn't filled the floor so wouldn't have needed the ashtray yet, but in there was an eighth of solid with the slightest hint of use at one edge. Then I did one of the following two things, you need to make up your own mind regarding which is the real version of what happened next:
1) I called the Police and reported the discovery so that justice could be done..
or 2) We closed the workshop and took a half day..
I wish I'd kept that car, it drove beautifully, used very little petrol and was really comfortable once I'd become used to the fact that the gear lever was so heavily centre weighted that no matter which gear was selected, the damned lever would return to the same position each time.
