  • We bought a new speedo, but it's faulty so it has to go back. Repair was slowed down by fitting an Xtrons stereo to the car. Now that's done, it's time to get on with it. We need to sort that blow on the exhaust and get some new tyres.
    If you would like to get yourself a flexi exhaust, this is the one I bought.

    OH the cleaning of the alloy wheels was so good for my OCD, delicious 😅. The moaners can stop now that you are going to be doing a cambelt change 😊.

    Hi Paul
    I have a couple of speedos you can have.
    1 is from a 13 plate 1.2 sport which i had fixed then decided to upgrade with the TFT clocks
    The other is from a 1.2 auto 15 plate. Not 100% of the mileage.
    As a thank you for all your videos that have helped me no end with all 4 of my 500s and abarth you are welcome to them.

      @@Love500 Do you have a faulty speedo with the classic flashing light problem you could sell me? I'm willing to pay a reasonable price so I can troubleshoot it and hopefully offer a repair service. I can already repair most of the fiat 500 airbag modules.

    Hi Paul - Will you do a review on the Xtrons - I have bought two of these and very happy with them my daughter who already had a 3rd party android wanted an Xtron after seeing mine as she wanted the CarPlay. I have an interesting issue with mine but I’ll write to you on IG about it may need a good Xtron technical contact. I love the way these match the original design and you can match up the colour on the button illumination

    So the one retrieving from sister in law’s presumably has less damage than one by your front door. I’d sell this green car and have it back for the Mot to free up some space though you won’t be bidding on anything else in next fortnight unless I’m missing something.
