After working out the best outlet size for a smart DV I consulted the Evilution forum's resident metal machinist and a plan was concocted, then the big guns were called in.

Smooth Rear Wiper![450 Fortwo 450 Fortwo](https://www.evilution.co.uk/wp-content/themes/evilution/images/evilution/model5.png)
Smart had no reason to use a better wiper on the rear window, it does its job and is barely ever seen. This doesn't mean it's acceptable on my car though. It doesn't take long for the cheapo blade to start chattering and clearing the window as well as a comb would....
Snapped Mirror Adjuster![450 Fortwo 450 Fortwo](https://www.evilution.co.uk/wp-content/themes/evilution/images/evilution/model5.png)

Having a snapped mirror adjuster is very common especially on the Roadster as it is easy to catch as you get in and out of the car.

Snapped studs are a fact of life on the smart, the engine block is aluminium, the turbo studs are copper, exhaust studs are soft steel.

The smart is only a small car and most of the engines are only 3 cylinder so they can be quite noisy

1 or 2 spanners flashing and the gear indicator also flashing, what could it mean?

Many cars have a wheel changing tool kit that sits in a tray inside of the spare wheel. As long as the car you get it from uses the same diameter wheels, it'll work fine. My particular one came from a FIAT punto. I got it from a car salvage yard but you can buy them...

OK, this is a massive work in progress that I hope others will be able to help with. OBD error codes are easy to ready with a cheap OBD error reader but the resulting codes don't always point towards the problem. So, the idea here is this. If you had an error code and...

Many of the Blaupunkt sat-nav systems rely on a pulse generated by the car so the sat-nav can determine more accurately the speed of the car when it is out of range or view of the satellites.

If you need to splice into a wire, forget cutting, twisting and wrapping it in electrical tape. That sort of bodge will not cut it here.
