Normal Mod Roadster Fuel Filler Neck Seal452 Roadster

Rubber doesn't last for ever, especially not when it comes into contact with petrol on a regular basis. You may have noticed the filler neck rubber on your Roadster beginning to crack or split. This is now an MOT fail in the UK so it must be replaced. It stops fuel...

Normal Mod Roadster Fuel Flap Solenoid452 Roadster

The fuel flap solenoid is a motor that pushes a bar which locks the fuel filler flap. To access it, remove the rear panels and you'll see it just left of the filler flap. Disconnect the electrical connector on the left hand side. Underneath the solenoid is a Torx E8...

Premium Mod Roadster Fuel Injector Removal452 Roadster

Warning Fuel injectors are connected to fuel pipes. Fuel can set you on fire and make your day miserable. No smoking, lighting farts or juggling flaming batons whilst you are doing this. It is important that you do NOT have the keys in the car. If the ignition gets...

Normal Mod Roadster Fuel Tank Removal452 Roadster

It's a very good idea to have little to no fuel in the tank otherwise it'll be heavy and potentially explody. Remove the engine. Behind the engine is a heat shield (good idea huh!). Remove the fuel cap. Remove the top two E10 bolts. Then remove the lower two E10...

Premium Mod Roadster Gear Change Motor Testing452 Roadster

Testing an item off of the car can prove if it is working or not.
Bench testing allows you to narrow down your searches if something is faulty as it allows the individual testing of complicated items.

Premium Mod Roadster Gearbox Fluid Change452 Roadster

Although smart say this is a non servicable item, it would be foolish to use the same oil year in, year out. I recommended you change it every 3rd service. People have found the gearchange is much improved after doing this.

Normal Mod Roadster Glove Box452 Roadster

Here is the Roadster glove box. Probably contains 0% gloves and 100% wheel bolt key, napkins and sweets. Open the glove box using the normal method. There's a plastic stay on each side that holds the flap in a set position. Push both of these stays towards the front...

Premium Mod Roadster Ground Points452 Roadster

Roadster Earthing Points The Roadster is now officially old and with that advanced age comes new faults. One of these faults that is becoming more prevalent is earthing issues. Earth Or Ground? It's the same thing. Some countries call it a different name. Identifying...

Premium Mod Roadster Handbrake Cable Removal452 Roadster

Look under the car where the handbrake comes through the bulkhead. Push the distributor towards the cables and move the cable tips sideways, out of the way. Release the distributor and the cable ends are free. Open the rear brake drum... ...and use your tool of choice...

Normal Mod Roadster Handbrake Disconnect452 Roadster

Look under the car near the front of the engine cradle. If you are lucky, you'll see the handbrake cables. Make sure the handbrake is off. Push the distributor down and push the cables out of its grip. Release the distributor and you are done. I have always called the...

Normal Mod Roadster Handbrake Removal452 Roadster

Disconnect the handbrake from under the car. Pull back the carpet, disconnect the handbrake switch connection and then remove the Torx E10 bolts from the front and the rear of the mechanism. Pull the rubber boot through the firewall. Pull the entire mechanism from the...

Normal Mod Roadster Handle Maintenance452 Roadster

Roadsters don't suffer so much from snapped door handle cables like the fortwo does but they do stiffen up, so, once a year, why not give them a proper lubrication? Other sites tell you to pull the handle open and spray lube into the hole that the handle passes...
