Asking Price is £

Hi Gang.

When you get in the car and start and put the headlights on normally they perform the test sequence and the headlights go down then up again.

This is quite noticeable as they go down then up quite a few feet with the bean throw.

However, the other day I noticed that when driving home from work in the dark the headlight beam throw was terrible, it looked as though the beam top was only about ten feet in front of the car!

I tested this in my garage and noticed that it only goes down then up again a tiny amount when switching them on.

Any ideas on what's happened here guy's?

I haven't done or changed anything except had a full gearbox replacement along with a whole new clutch all completed at the dealers.

When I picked the car up I had to re-set the instrument panel stuff such as date and time etc, they must have disconnected or removed the battery whilst replacing the above items.

I'm not trying to blame the dealers in any way at all, maybe it is coincidental!

The dealers who are fantastic by the way, told me to bring it back in and that it probably just needs re-setting?

Anyone ever had this or know anything about it?

Many thanks.

Unbelievable.

Ask for the details of their head office, and make them aware you fully intend to write to HO, and the Fiat head office in Italy and asking if their franchise agreement is up to par.

Also make Everyone aware that you intend to put this all over ALL of your social media pages.

Things like this spread like wild fire on the likes of Twitter and Face book.

Lets see what they have to say about that shall we?

Might also be worth mentioning that you intend to speak to Trading Standards too.

Hi All.

Just an up-date.

If I don't have a USB plugged in then the stereo stays off. But, If I have a USB with my sounds on it plugged in the the stereo starts when I get back in the car again.

Weird or what!

Hi All.

I have got an appointment with the servicing department of the lovely people over at the Research garage in Nuneaton this week for what seems to be the same or very similar thing as the OP.

Mine is varying from difficult to very hard to get into reverse on occasions, especially when it's been sat outside at work all day, and from time to time it has even popped out of reverse.

The forward gears also seem to be difficult to engage until the car gets warmed up. (I know the gearbox and engine are cold, but they should definitely not be that hard to engage.)

I don't think it is supposed to be like this and I am going to ask them to investigate it for me.

Whilst I'm there I'm going to have them check out the stuck open Monza exhaust flap too. I know some on here will think I'm being silly, but I prefer to have it working as it should do, and I enjoy the different sounds it gives when it is working properly too.

Also there seems to be a "ticking" sound from the turbo boost gauge, or at least that's where it sounds like it's coming from. When I accelerate and the gauge starts moving it gives off a sound as though a cable is coming out of a speedo housing, and as soon as I ease off the pedal the ticking noise stops? Weird or what!

Looks fantastic.

Loving those rear light units, pitty we can't up-grade to them.

Hmmmmm. Maybe time for a re-think on this one.

According to Goodyear we should > https://www.goodyear.eu/en_gb/consumer/learn/rotating-your-tires.html

And yet another tyre rep from Pirelli said no if they are the expensive and high quality ones?

So confusing.
