Alternative Smart Buyers Guide
What This Page Isn't This isn't a guide of things to check on a smart before buying. This is more important than that. This is the page that asks you why you want a smart and then suggests why you actually don't. Why Don't I Want A Smart Then? This site helps you fix...
Alternator Diode Lead
The diode lead isn't fitted to all fortwo 450 smarts but they are fitted to some, (yeah, informative huh!). It's a cable that connects to the alternator and one of the bolts that holds the starter motor to the engine. If the diode breaks down and fails, the alternator...

Auto Dimming Rear View Mirror
The fortwo 450 and 451 rear view mirror is universally hated. It's an odd shape and sits too low. I always replace my fortwo rear view mirror (left) with one from a Roadster (right). Apart from the shape, the main difference between the fortwo and Roadster rear view...
