Hello I have a 2016 (just - registered on 31/12/2016) model - 500X - and a couple of years ago the DAB radio stopped working. I can use it on FM/MW etc. Initially it would work for around 20-30 minutes of a journey and then drop out. But then after a while it stopped working altogther. This happened a couple of years ago. I have made it a New Year Resolution to look into it and try to get it fixed - if it won't cost too much money. Any ideas of where I can start troubleshooting/where I... Read more

Hey Recently added an Android touch screen unit to my wife's 2016 Panda, I also purchased a reversing camera to add to it, not really needed in a panda as the visibility is so good but it's a nice to have thing. I'm trying to figure out the best place to mount the camera and where to run the cable to the Android unit up front. Anyone else done this? Where did you run the cable? Thanks.

My 12V battery never seem to have more than 12,6V. Is that normal? Can I charge it with an external charger? Has anyone a manual for changing the 12v battery?

Having an argument with my local garage about whether you can re-use the front hub nuts same as item 282911641893 on ebay.co.uk Had to have a CV joint boot replaced and the hub nuts (obviously) have to be taken off. The old (original) nuts are hammered into a slot in the hub which when you take the nut off damages the edges of the hammered piece. My garage says you can re-use them, but I thought they were a 'once only' nut and should be replaced if taken off ?. Martin, GM6VXB

Hello Community, 2 days ago, I bought a multipla from czechia and tried to import it to austria. Yesterday, I had a vehicle inspection, and it was quote “So bad that I would do both of us a favour if I abort the check, since I would have to write down too many issues and you would need to pay”. He then proceeded and gave me a little document where he described some issues: Rear axle spring-seat mounting rusted through; rubber components are severely perished/porous Brake hoses... Read more

Hello Forum Need a decent wiring diagram plus information on where the relay for the intermitent wipers is located. I have an A class motorhome and access in engine bay is limited and its a pain to remove over engine cover. Regards Alan

Not posted before but thought I'd share my experience... On way home from work (rush hour) approaching busy m6 island, go to change gear, there's a bang and clutch pedal is on the floor and not coming back up! Car won't go into gear and I'm stuffed! So hazards on and I manage to push forward on gear stick and get just enough forward motion to get out the way of lots of irate drivers. Park up, curse at the car, cursory look at stuff, pull pedal up.. Nothing doing. Call mrs and get her... Read more

Hi All! OK - so Ben has kindly given us this spangly new section all to our selves! So, here's ours, now show us yours! 1972 Fiat 500 L 650cc 126 engine LHD 123 Electronic Ignition Oh and the name? Well, we decided a car with such character had to have a name, but couldn't think of one. So, our neighbour's four year old son looked at it thoughtfully, and said "I think it should be named Daisy" :yuck: and it kind of stuck.........

I have a 1975 124 Spider that has developed an electrical issue. My car has the original voltage regulator but the alternator is an after market a 3 wire Delco. My alternator is not charging my battery. I have 12.6 volts consistently. I understand the the dash light is to tell the alternator to charge but my dash light does not work. I have no power to the circuit. I am open to any suggestions you may have. Thanks in advance.

Hi all, really hope you can help, I can't find any other threads on this and it's going to be a really costly repair otherwise. I haven't got my own picture to hand at the mo but my question relates to these posts on my 2011 Fiat 500 1.2 8v: I tried to put new nuts onto these and I don't know what happened - I think they must have been out of spec or something - but they absolutely destroyed 2 of the 3 posts, and currently only one has a nut on it. On the other two threaded... Read more

The title alone would have caused some people here to look twice, as I've read that at least one of you thinks that 1997 2.5 TDi's don't have an ECU. Mine has. I've seen it, and it appears to be causing problems. Intermittent power loss, or stuttering, is perhaps the best way to describe it, a problem not unknown in the wacky world of ECU's. The problem comes and goes, and appears to be caused or worsened by vibration. Over the years, I've taken the vehicle (a Hymer motorhome built on a... Read more
