Normal Mod Front Splitter Fitting450 Fortwo

The standard front splitter on the smart is pretty understated and boring, not to mention unpainted.This ruins the front of the car and the textured plastic gets dirty very quickly.

Normal Mod Front Wheel Alignment450 Fortwo451 ED451 Fortwo452 Roadster453 EQ453 Fortwo/Forfour454 Forfour

Front Wheel Alignment If the front of your car doesn't handle as well as it used to. Your front tyres are wearing in a strange way, or your steering wheel isn't straight when the car is going straight, your front wheel alignment is probably out. Ideally, I recommend...

Normal Mod Fuel Pressure Regulator FPR450 Fortwo452 Roadster

The smart runs a 3.8 bar fuel pressure regulator, the injectors can handle more so lets up it a touch and see what happens by adding a Bosch 0280 160 575 4 bar FPR. Bought to our attention in August of 2006 by Christos Kolovos (CKA) on the Maniacs forum.

Normal Mod Fuel Saver Magnets450 Fortwo451 Fortwo452 Roadster454 Forfour

For years now, sites and ebay sellers have enthused about the usefulness and efficiency of their fuel magnets. They often retail for big money plus postage and packing. Time to check them out.

Normal Mod Fumes In The Cabin450 Fortwo451 Fortwo452 Roadster453 Fortwo/Forfour

Have you ever noticed the smell of exhaust fumes in the cabin when driving? Seems odd if you consider that the engine is behind you and you are moving forwards. The Reason Is Two-Fold When you drive, there is a pocket of low pressure behind the car. This draws air...

Normal Mod Fuse Taps450 Fortwo451 Fortwo452 Roadster453 Fortwo/Forfour454 Forfour

Fuse Taps Fuse taps are clever pieces of metal and plastic that can turn 1 fuse position on your fuse box into 2 separate fuse positions. They are a good generic way to separately power an additional circuit. Obviously I would never recommend these over the proper...

Normal Mod Fuse Types and Sizes450 Fortwo451 Fortwo452 Roadster453 Fortwo/Forfour454 Forfour

We all know that fuses have different ratings but on the smart they are also different sizes.

Normal Mod Gas Strut Removal450 Fortwo451 Fortwo452 Roadster453 Fortwo/Forfour454 Forfour

Remove the gas struts that hold the boot open on all smarts and the bonnet open on a Roadster.

Premium Mod Gear Angle Sensor Testing450 Fortwo452 Roadster

This is the gearbox angle sensor. It is used to determine the position of the gear drum when the gear positions are being taught on the Star machine. In every day use, the car does not rely on this sensor to tell the gear position. It has 3 pins in the housing. These...

Normal Mod Gear Ratios450 Fortwo451 Fortwo452 Roadster454 Forfour

Overall gear ratios for Fortwo and Roadster. Thanks to Blackdog for the original ratios and thanks to Bettina from Getrag for supplying the new fortwo ratios and final drive info.

Normal Mod Gearbox Fluid Specs450 Fortwo451 Fortwo452 Roadster453 Fortwo/Forfour454 Forfour

I Really Don't Know Why But... There are some normal, intelligent smart owners out there who insist that you can use gear oil in transmissions that are designed and specified to be used with ATF. Apparently the manufacturer of the gear box don't know what's best....

Premium Mod Gearbox Removal450 Fortwo452 Roadster

Why remove the gearbox? Maybe you want to change the clutch, maybe your gearbox is fucked.

Normal Mod Generic OBD Code Readers450 Fortwo451 Fortwo452 Roadster453 Fortwo/Forfour454 Forfour

Cheap OBD Code Readers It's a fairly common phrase to be heard said by a car owner with a problem. "I'll buy a cheap code reader and then..." Let me stop you there. Something is only cheap if it works. £10 might be cheap for a code reader but if all it is good for is...

Normal Mod Glovebox Cooler451 Fortwo

Chilled Glovebox Don't you hate it when you put your Mars bar in the glovebox and it's melted when you go to eat it? Personally no, I like it to make as much mess as possible but that doesn't suit everyone. So, how about a chilled glovebox? You only need a smart...

Premium Mod Glow Plug Controller Fault450 Fortwo451 Fortwo

Symptoms I have had the same email once or twice a year from 450 and 451 CDI owners. "My glow plug light doesn't go out" Normally I recommend replacing the glow plugs and checking the engine earth lead. Normally this fixes it. However, sometimes I get another...

Normal Mod Gluing Rear View Mirror451 Fortwo452 Roadster453 Fortwo/Forfour454 Forfour

During the hot summer of 2019, my rear view mirror ejected itself from the windscreen. The old glue had dried hard. I bought this one from Amazon because I'm an impatient arse who refuses to wait. Prime FTW. If you want the same stuff, click this. Firstly, you have to...

Premium Mod Grundig CD Changer Cable450 Fortwo452 Roadster

Making Your Own CD Changer Cable Getting a compatible CD Changer for the Grundig stereo is fairly easy as it's the same model used in many Fiats and Lamborghinis. Just do a search for MCD36 for the 6 disc changer. The MCD10 10 disc changer should also work although...
