Abarth 500, 595 & 695 / Re: Abarth 500 Bulbs

So I read somewhere today that ALL aftermarket LED light swaps will fail an MOT.

Quote
“Existing halogen headlamp units on vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1986 must not be converted to be used with high intensity discharge (HID) or light emitting diode (LED) bulbs. If such a conversion has been done, you must fail the headlamp for light source and lamp not compatible.”


Found it https://www.passmefast.co.uk/resources/driving-advice/led-headlights#:~:text=Will%20LED%20headlights%20pass%20an%20MOT%3F&text=However%2C%20retrofitted%20LED%20headlights%20are,it%20was%20a%20grey%20area).

Thanks

Abarth 500, 595 & 695 / Carplay - 2018 595 Comp
« Last post by slayaz on September 20, 2023, 02:05:35 PM »
Just picked up my 595 and I love it.

Except, it doesn't have carplay? It has the 7" Uconnect unit but no carplay?

I thought all 2018 models had it?

Is there a way to enable it via a proxy alignment?

Thanks in advance

Introductions / Hello from a new member in Kent .Help needed please
« Last post by Mark W on August 01, 2023, 12:08:48 PM »
Hi All,

Thanks for accepting me onto the Forum,
I am a new member based in North Kent.
I am looking to purchase a 595 and could do with some assistance.
I recently had a new dropped kerb installed by the council.
But due to the presence of a BT inspection cover they have installed it at an odd angle.
I would like to undertake a double check to ensure that the Abarth will fit on the drive.
As I do not wish to park my new pride and joy on the road.
Are there any members in the Dartford area that could assist with helping me to check?
Any assistance would be most appreciated.

Introductions / Hello from Cornish newbie
« Last post by CornishGrumps on July 28, 2023, 10:15:03 AM »
Hi to another Abarth newbie born and bred in "God's own country" (Cornwall). I've just acquired my first Abarth (an Esseesse) after needing to downsize my car having just retired,.
I've been an Alfa man for many many years having owned a variety of models through the ages. Time for a change, I thought but still wanted an Fiat/Alfa model.
I must say that I'm very impressed so far having only owned my Esseesse for just over a week.
I'm also open to any advise that can be passed my way.
Take care all and hopefully speak soon.
