You're welcome! - glad it went well :)

It baffles me, I order something and then the exact thing I ordered keeps popping up as a recommendation to buy - they should watch with more accuracy :)

Merci d'avoir pris le temps de commenter - Nath est en France maintenant - en vacances, son endroit préféré

Its odd, we also paid extra for more ??

You first :)

It seems an odd plastic blend in those years :)

Thanks Ralph

Brave :)

We did not change the bulbs - love to see you remove the whole light through that hatch - I could not suffer watching the whole thing, so full pardon for that - but to comment 👏🏼.🔔🔚

🤣

For your own assistance - here is a guide incase you need to do the job :) Models of the Abarth 595, you will need to remove the front bumper to access and replace the fog lights. Here’s a general guide on how to do this: Tools Needed: A set of screwdrivers (Phillips and flathead) Torx screwdriver set Socket wrench set Trim removal tools (optional) Replacement fog light bulbs Gloves Steps: Prepare the Car: Park the car on a flat surface. Turn off the engine and ensure the lights are off. If you have a jack and jack stands, it might be easier to lift the front of the car for better access. Open the Hood: Open the hood to access the top screws or clips holding the bumper. Remove the Undertray and Wheel Arch Liners: If present, remove the undertray by unscrewing or unclipping it from beneath the bumper. Remove the wheel arch liners or loosen them enough to access the screws or bolts behind them. You might need to turn the wheels to gain better access. Remove Screws and Clips: Locate and remove all screws and clips that are securing the bumper. This typically includes screws along the top edge under the hood, screws or bolts in the wheel arches, and screws or clips underneath the bumper. Detach the Bumper: Carefully pull the bumper away from the car. It may still be connected by wiring for fog lights or sensors, so be gentle. Disconnect any electrical connectors for fog lights, parking sensors, or other components attached to the bumper. Access and Replace Fog Lights: With the bumper removed, you can now easily access the fog light housings. Remove the old fog light bulbs by twisting them counterclockwise. Insert the new bulbs, ensuring they are securely in place. Reattach the Bumper: Reconnect any electrical connectors that were detached. Carefully align the bumper back into position. Secure the bumper by reinserting and tightening all screws, bolts, and clips that were removed. Reattach the Undertray and Wheel Arch Liners: Reattach or tighten the undertray and wheel arch liners. Test the Fog Lights: Turn on the car and test the new fog lights to ensure they are working correctly. Close the Hood: Close the hood securely. Additional Tips: Consult the Manual: Refer to your Abarth 595 owner’s manual for specific instructions and illustrations. Work with a Friend, but unlikley you have any :) : Having an extra pair of hands can help with aligning and securing the bumper. Take Photos: Consider taking photos during the disassembly process to help with reassembly. If you’re not comfortable performing this task yourself, consider seeking assistance from a professional mechanic or visiting an authorized service center. Or just try and squeeze it all through the bulb access flap, perhaps use an angle grinder to enlarge the whole🤔

No problem 👍

Commercial Engine Degreasers are best to use in a cooler - they are specifically formulated to remove oil and grease without damaging components. Or you could try: Brake Cleaner: Effective for cleaning metal parts and evaporates quickly. Hot Water and Dish Soap: Safe and effective for removing oil without harsh chemicals. Specialized Oil Cooler Cleaners: Designed for cleaning oil coolers without causing damage. Steps for Cleaning an Oil Cooler with a Safer Alternative: Drain any residual oil from the oil cooler into a container. Apply Cleaner: Apply a commercial engine degreaser or specialized oil cooler cleaner to the oil cooler. Follow the product instructions for application and dwell time. Scrub Gently: Use a soft-bristle brush to gently scrub the oil cooler. Avoid hard-bristle brushes or abrasive tools. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the oil cooler with water, using a garden hose or low-pressure washer. Ensure all cleaner and debris are removed. Use Compressed Air: Blow out any remaining water and debris with compressed air. Focus on blowing air through the fins and small areas. Dry and Inspect: Allow the oil cooler to dry completely. Inspect for any remaining debris or damage.

We have used Milners, they had the square ones (these appear the most common) at the time we called them ( a while ago I admit :) we do avoid the UK as import tax etc is incredible, normally more than the parts you order

They are the original ones, they had to special order them in from Japan so it took a while. I was in Portugal a few months ago, I could have brought you some!! 😁

Ningún problema 👍🏼

Our brains did not engage that quickly - must admit I have had cruse control and limiter on cars for years, never used them - no idea why, considering I used to do mega miles🤔

@@DrivenMadShow I've had 5 MINIs and didn't know what the LIM button was until about the 3rd or 4th one, lol. Video production is hard--you guys did a great job with this! I didn't know my SE had this feature until this video!

Too kind :)

I can stop a truck with my massive whopper - cannot het it out here, attracts the flys for 10 miles ! we drove the new Countryman a few weeks ago - 60K + here (thats not a JCW either). We have just tried the BYD Seal - surprisingly good and good value - doing a deal 47K euro for the 3.3 to 60 job here - a boot is no good for us sadly, but worth a look and drive just for the laugh - dam its quick :)

The SE doesn't have radar.

Always!

No, to be fair, it has been faultless, as was the Fait Panda, only the VW is a pain, so matches the Audi experience.

Just better looking

No problem 👍

For us it was just a few extra cranks when trying to start. Nothing needed. 👍

You're welcome - someone has to put up with him :)

Soaked them in WD40 overnight and they slid off without too much effort - just lucky me thinks !

For a Fiat Panda (169 model), a brake piston rewind tool or push back tool is generally recommended when replacing the rear brake pads. This tool is used to retract the caliper piston back into the caliper, making room for the new brake pads. Here's a step-by-step guide for changing the brake pads: Raise and Secure the Vehicle: Use a jack to lift the car and secure it with jack stands. Remove the wheel to access the brake caliper. Remove the Caliper: Use the appropriate tools to remove the caliper bolts. Be careful not to damage the brake line. Remove the Old Brake Pads: Once the caliper is off, the old brake pads can be removed. Retract the Caliper Piston: This is where the brake piston rewind tool comes in. Attach the tool to the caliper piston and turn it to retract the piston back into the caliper. This step is crucial to fit the new, thicker brake pads. Install the New Brake Pads: Place the new brake pads into the caliper bracket. Reattach the Caliper: Put the caliper back over the new brake pads and secure it with the caliper bolts. Reassemble: Reattach the wheel and lower the car. Test the Brakes: Before driving, pump the brake pedal a few times to ensure the brake pads are seated properly and the brake pedal feels firm. Using a brake piston rewind tool ensures that the piston is retracted evenly and prevents potential damage to the caliper. If you don't have this tool, you might be able to use a C-clamp or another method, but a dedicated tool is recommended for best results.

If only Nath had done it a year ago - he was chasing a temp issue that was electrical 😂

Suspect its different country building them - think they are made in Poland, Italy, Mexico and somewhere else I cannot remember

Appreciate the comment - thank you :)

The choice is vast - AliExpress ..... www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-mitsubishi-l200-tail-light.html

We will keep everything crossed for luck - hope it goes well ( very little does for us ! )

We are cheap dates :)

Thank you :) - the stereo system came with all the cables - I believe ( don't hold me to this) the Fiat's have the generic plug, so a unit should just fit - my search to check, gave me this: ISO Connectors: Many Fiat Panda models use ISO connectors for the head unit. These connectors are a standard in many European cars and make it easier to replace the factory stereo with an aftermarket one.

Glad it was helpful, appreciate the time to comment.

Hello, that sounds fairly normal due to the age of the vehicle. I’d recommend getting a new replacement or even upgrading to a full aluminium one like mine. Cracks in plastic are not a good sign. I think a replacement would be best 👍 Thanks for the comment

We re did it - kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6azpGCgZtiniKM - this one shows you much better (I hope) if not, let me know

Sure it will, but at the mo all OK

Hi Mark - at least you have a tough engine :) that 1.5 I had in a Megane - time blurrs the mind, but I am sure that had oil changes every 12K - it was a contract hire vehicle and one I remember as fantastic - our tiny 999cc is a recipe for self destruction if not maintained in my book, needs super regular oil changes, plus never seen such watery oil (0W 20), so think additives are a no,no. Mrs M. loves her Tcross, she really has zero interest in cars and no desire to ever change, been in the bad books a few times for flogging her car without telling her :)

Yes, a well proven engine I think. You’re a braver man than I - I wouldn’t dare sell her Duster, her favourite car ever!

Thanks man :)

Think you are probably right, but I can get 4 of these for one Bomber (which I did not have the dosh for)

Intendi il tuo culo?

@@DrivenMadShow 😂😂😂 non capisci un razzo.

Thanks for the tips!

Hi, the adapters came with the headlights. They were specific.

Just so you know - we bought from Fabio Fabio Abarth, a bod in Italy - they leaked, so the carbon cheap film cam off, then the filed - the running lights he never supplied, just stile our money - try Abarth Tuning is my suggestion

We decided that as VW say it is OK, we would only change the oil in the easiest way, for someone who is not used to doing it - we mention the filter and no magnetic bung in the notes for the video - if you can, change it, you are right :)

Specsavers - I am a megahunk !
