Hi there, New Smart owner here going slightly mad as I can't work something out! Just bought a 2017 pre-reg fortwo Prime Premium Plus model for my other half and all is good except for one thing.

Anyone else with a new-style Smart-for-Two having problems with getting the fuel gauge to register the petrol tank as full.

I'm after some advice with my 453 Around a month ago I changed from the standard rear Continental EcoContact tyres to Toyo Proxies and the car has been handing terribly ever since. Only the rear tyres were changed, the fronts are still standard as they have a good 5mm of tread left. After...

Hi folks - got myself a 2016 forfour and was wondering if anyone has managed to get mirrorlink to work - according to the manual there should be a mirrorlink app in the services section of the menu (in the car) but I dont have it - just the usual tomtom live options. Any ideas? Tried a couple...

Has anyone tapped into a decent 12v switched feed in the cabin? Looking to add a USB & accessory socket up front (if you know a good quality USB/cigarette socket too, would be great, seen some poor quality ones) Thank you.

Hi all, I like most things about my 2017 Prime Auto.....except when idling along slowly in traffic with the air con on it seems difficult to drive smoothly, as every time the air con compressor kicks in and the engine RPM increases to compensate, the car surges forward, then when the compressor...

For any of you out there with the same problem. When i got my car from new, after 400 miles or so when driving for more than 20 minutes in warm weather, there's was a tapping feedback coming back through the steering wheel. I took the car back to be checked and told it was fine. It got...

I have already added the brabus handbrake and gearstick. Wondering if anyone has changed the gearstick gaiter. Mine is looking slightly worn and cheap looking!
