I used to have one back in the day and would like another one for weekends. I’ve had plenty of ‘Lancia experience’ but this might be a new gearbox. I’m thinking it’s worth the risk. Opinions?

Good afternoon,

My grandfather has owned his Lancia Thema i.e turbo from new and it has only covered 14,000 miles from new. Apparently, about a year ago, we went to take the car out for a drive. The problem was that the engine starter was turning, but there was no start. Eventually, we found out that the wiring harness of the ECU had been damaged due to a mouse eating the wire in the harness. This, after the constant tries of me trying to fire up the engine, burnt the ECU. I have bought a new ECU for it, but the problem is that the mechanic who as working on the car for us had to flee the country as he had some matters of his own. He left us with an unfinished car, and I am trying to look for solutions to get it back on the road. Finding parts for it here in Malta is nearly impossible as it is the only Thema Type 834 in the country. I have recently asked my personal mechanic to have a look at the car who is also an automotive mechanic. He agreed to try and solve the problem himself, but in order to do so, he needs a wiring diagram for the car. I have tried to obtain a wiring diagram even on the internet, and it seems impossible to find one for a Type 834C.000 2.0L 8V i.e turbo. Does anyone know from where I can obtain one? Even a photo of it would be much appreciated, as I'd like to get the car back on the road for my grandfather as soon as possible. Thanks in advance, Gianluca Camilleri.

Btw this will be my first car if that helps at all. Like rust* sorry

I recently saw an article where a new CEO was announced for Lancia. Anyone hopeful for a revival for this brand?
