I failed to mention the clutch and gearbox. Ooops! These can be an issue if mistreated. Tail tail signs include a whining sound when driving off in 1st-2nd gear. If the noise gets better when you depress the clutch, then it's likely it needs a new clutch.

As someone who has owned both a 1.2 and a Twinair, I'd say don't discount the Twinair!
As long as it's been serviced at the correct intervals using the correct oils etc you have nothing to fear!
The 875cc 2 cylinder Twinair actually produces way more power and torque than the 1.2
It will be cheaper to service, more economical to run.
The quirky nature of the Twinair is a more authentic match to what the 500 is all about and it's heritage, the original concept was always based on a small low capacity cheap to run engine and the noise it makes always puts a smile on my face! 😊

I think that you ARE an expert when it comes to the Fiat 500. I find your videos hugely helpful and have been a source of comfort and reassurance as I see you battle with some of the issues I face with my 500 Lounge. I have the dreaded hatch wiring loom issue, and also the water sloshing in the scuttle area, which you've now shown how to check and resolve.

I love this Alex, I’m like yep I’ve had 3 door handles replaced, I’ve got broken vents inside 🙈😂

Mine has lost a few exhaust clamps and suffers with losing gearbox oil, I’m needing another gearbox again 😭
