Well i was wondering if a change from 5 down to 2 would make it go 'aaaaaahhhh!!!' anyway. I accidentally changed from 5th to 2nd in a Saab when i was delivering it to a customer and it made it go into limp-home-mode which was inconvenient to say the least. I'd never made a mistake like that before, of all the times!?!?
Can you tell me what a Multifunctional unit is and where, on the car, it is.

T4 is rover diagnostic equipment. Essential for proggramming a new BCM. The module is behind the heater on the firewall and rewuires serious strip down to gain access! If it has AC its even worse.

brought this car from new 2009 it is due its 2year service do i have to take this to a fiat dealer ship to do the service to keep the warranty in place or can i take it to another garage to do the service many tks
EU block exemption rules that have been in place for many years mean that you don't have to go to the manufacturers' dealers for servicing. You will however need to ensure that the parts used are up to manufacturer specification and that your invoice (and it should be a VAT invoice) confirms this should you ever need to go back to Fiat for warranty issues. Many people have the car serviced by the dealer during the warranty to avoid any warranty problems or to be more precise to avoid the inevitable hassle when claiming under warranty when the car hasn't been to the dealers. In your case it would be just the one service in the 3 year warranty period. Dealers servicing charges vary quite a bit so you might find a competitive rate at a dealer vs an independent.
Hi, this is my first post so I hope I am doing this right!
I was sitting at the traffic light at the junction of Barton Road (A5181) and Kingsway (The Robin Hood), the lights turned green and I moved to the middle of the junction for a chance to turn right across the oncoming traffic. The lights turned to amber, at that very moment the van driver in the oncoming traffic decides they can beat the red light and accelerates. There is a double flash of the traffic camera before I can cross the junction.... Read more
Van driver will get n.i.p. in the post. Two pictures taken will show you have not moved and were in that position before lights changed.
Hi
Does any one know if the newer 110 version of the 2.0 diesel is more reliable i.e injector issues?... Read more
Will let you know in three years time - which was the average elaped time before the previous Siemens injected cars (type that one carefully!) started breaking down in great numbers.
My daughter is just about to start university next month and has this weird idea about taking her car with her. Think I've persuaded her to do without for the first term, but might be fighting a losing battle (she loves Terry the Twingo).
I'm assuming that she would have to inform her insurance company and that they would then bump her premiums up considerably.... Read more
It would be worth finding out the provisions for parking at the university. The uni I went to had a policy that undergrads were not allowed a parking space unless they had a disability as there just wasn't enough space. I tried to get a permit as a postgrad but it was very expensive. The bus was an all-round better option. If she's off to uni in a big city, it may whack the insurance right up (I knew several people at uni in Manchester/Liverpool - the premiums were phenomenally high!)
I also got charged £26 by my insurer for changing my address, as they have to send out new policy documents!
it's different - but still welcoming.
Seems that Jamie et Bobbin have an online love affair but maybe not. I'm new again, I don't know.... Read more

Hi,
Still searching for a definitive answer, but just recieved a call from Skoda, very impressed by the speed of reply.
It is unconfirmed, but likely that the lower output (85ps) 1.2 TSI is fitted with a single mass flywheel, but the higher output (105ps) 1.2 TSI is fitted with a dual mass flywheel.
Again, would appreciate any reply.
Best,
