75 tourer was pressed into service today for Mrs sworks to use. This left me with the Fiat 500 to play with. New cambelt and tensioner and front disc and pads, followed by a wash and hoover, busy afternoon with a four year old car

Headlamp bulb blew on the v6. Replaced them both (just in case). Very fiddly job and scraped hands.

It came with new brackets already on it,so the old strap was thrown away. Also the pipe at the front was shaped to fit onto the old one,so it just needed a new clamp.- https://www.carparts4less.co.uk/search/705751351 Watch out for discount codes as well. Ken ps. this was for the diesel |
