Dont forget a problem shared! is still APITA!
!.
!.Newbie going down from manual Opel Mokka to a dinky Fiat 500. Not sure I'm going to feel like an 'ol granny trying to be a youngone driving it ?
Or just an 'ol biddie in a small car ? And it's white & I always said I did't like white cars. But I got a good trade i on the Mokka 'cos thungs were starting to 'give'
Also have never driven auto/ semi auto before. Scared of doing something stupid. Any tips or tricks?

Hi and welcome Danny, hope you can get current issues sorted before any new ones crop up
@Satz123 welcome along I think keeping oil levels up on the DuaLogic is very important. Note the system uses two separate fluids and they must never mix.
Do you have an owners manual for the car? Read the transmission section carefully and do exactly what it says.

Not wishing to add to your list of problems, but how is the rear axle?
Spring pans are usually the first things to rust, a bit of treatment can add years to its life.

Seems fine I think. Just had the rear springs replaced a few weeks back as that was an advisory on its last mot, turned out 1 was snapped at the base and you couldn't see it the garage who fixed it said but all good now.
Not clued up on shocks though but all 4 don't look the best visually, but it's going the garage on Tuesday for a look over to find that clunking rattle noise. May well possibly be them or the front springs. I'll wait in suspense haha.
