Welcome to the forum. Pretty car - I always liked those wheel trims with the chrome centres. I've got a near-mint one in the garage if you ever need a replacement. Got it as a spare when my wife had her 500C and they tended to get stolen!Hi Everyone,
I'm new here and i own a beautiful Pearl Fiat 500 POP 2005 Dualogic.
I look forward to getting to know you all.

Still cheaper than a new original wheel trim - if you can find one!Ohyea, probably
having a bespoke set made out of platinum would still be cheaper that fiat originalsStill cheaper than a new original wheel trim - if you can find one!

I worry most garages have no idea how to fix or even determine what’s wrong.

What’s the issue with the duologic?

This guy specializes in them but for someone reason after he repaired the leaky gearbox, it won't change gear now but I'm sure he'll figure it out. This is the 4th mechanic it's been to, no one else would even touch it or fault find.

When the car has been standing for over 8 hours, when i try to start it, it takes about 10 secs to start and makes a loud clicking sound. With the help from the guys on here we figured out it was a gearbox issues and they were right. A damaged seal was causing a leak and it was losing pressure when left standing.
