The 450 drivers seat reclines enough for every day driving but not enough if you want to have a sleep. Do not do this modification and drive around with the seat reclined right back. This is about the maximum that the back will move to as standard. Ain't no one...

I Can Smell Fuel – Roadster
Check The Fuel Pump Seal This is the biggest reason for a fuel smell in the cabin after filling the tank. As the tank is filled, the air that is pushed out of the tank by the incoming fuel is normally passed through a charcoal filter, so you don't smell it. However,...
Ignition Free Electric Windows
You can already buy this type of device for about £20 which is a bit of a rip off considering the value of the parts doesn't exceed a quid.
Ignition Key Will Not Turn
The Key Won't Turn Because of the position of the ignition hole on the 450, 451 and Roadster, it's very common for them to get full of shit like dust, cake, sugar, fur, crumbs, bogies, chocolate, finger nails etc. The ignition barrel isn't open underneath so anything...
Ignition Light
I added a little bit of LED side lighting to the ignition surround.

Intercooler Fault
The intercooler seems to rub on the scoop causing it to wear through.
Intercooler Radiator Removal
Remove the intercooler fan to gain access to the intercooler radiator. As you have already removed the upper intercooler pipe, you just have to remove the lower intercooler pipe. This runs from the right hand port of the intercooler radiator to the turbo. Just loosen...
Intercooler Scoop Removal
It's common to have a part of the lower intercooler scoop missing as they often get smashed off by stuff in the road like dead foxes and giraffes etc. The scoop is 2 parts so you can just replace the broken section if you want.
Interior Lights
Interior Lights The smart 450 has two interior lights, one on the centre console and one on the roof at the back. The interior lights will illuminate themselves for a short duration when you open the doors, they automatically turn off when: The ignition is started....
