MHD Breaks Regulations
MHD Legality Apart from MHDs being really poor, unreliable and a very bad choice, it would seem they are illegal to use as stated in the hand manual during the dark period between dusk and dawn (in the UK at least, I haven't checked regulations outside of the UK)....
MHD ECO Off At Start
The idea of MHD is OK but certainly not for everyone, wouldn't it be nice if it was off when the car was started.
MHD Starter ECO Fault
There is a new common fault on the 451 MHD that causes the starter to stop working
Michalak Sucker
This is a very popular type of air intake, less like a scoop and more like the original.
Mileage/KM Jumping Up
In my 20 years being on the smart scene, I have heard people randomly complain that the mileage/kilometerage (is that even a word?) has suddenly jumped up by thousands, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands over night. It's incredibly rare but I hear it at...
Mobis Lowline Stereo

Mocal I/C Pipes Review
These silicone pipes replace the rigid plastic pipes to and from the intercooler.
Mocal Intercooler Pipes
Mocal were the first proper full replacement IC pipes made for the smart in any great quantity. Due to Mocal’s great advertising (as in let’s not bother) they have been a well kept secret for over a year.

Nearside & Offside
Evilution's Nearside, Offside, Left, Right? Just to clarify. Nearside and offside are set sides of the car but left and right obviously change. Nearside and offside are old English terms so may not be known elsewhere. Nearside is the passenger's side on an RHD car....
No Alignment Wheel Change
The ESP cartridge on the 450 and Roadster can be annoying and tricky when you change the wheel.
No Throttle Response
I Have No Throttle Response 99% of the time I hear this, the alternator has just been changed and people are convinced they screwed something up during the fitting. Well, you did, we'll come back around to that in a bit. I Haven't Changed The Alternator Try cleaning...
Noisy Headlight Motors
It is becoming more and more common now that 450 headlight motors are playing up and making a continuous noise, annoying.
Number Plate Lights 451
The new smart fortwo has better licence plate bulb holders, these don’t break as soon as you touch them like on the previous model. Here is how to remove them to change the bulb.
OBD Upgrade
OBDII may be a standard but manufacturers were given a long leash which came to protocols and the manufacturer specific pins. I will tell you more and tell you my idea.
OBDII Error Codes
To help locate problems, the On Board Diagnostic port can allow access to fault codes stored in the ECU. Each code can point towards a problem that the car believes to be a fault.
Official Roadster Leak Guide
Smart admit that the leaks occur on the Roadster, they even have an official document for fixing the leaks. I am glad to say that there is no copyright information on these documents so there seems to be nothing to stop me posting it here.
