just had a Fiat Care Gold Service carried out by LC Motors in Newport for £189.

car is a lot smoother now and NO black smoke at all, yep, zilch, nada, nil ;)

i also noticed while trying to peep in, that they changed the air filter from underneath the car ???

i've still got a 'service due' warning message. no light, just the message.

booked in at an independant garage for the suspension fit, £150 :'(

oh, and i also now have a CN+, courtesy of Rich on FF :)

i never had a light though phil, even before. just a 'service due' message

Haha. Yes, I've got the induction kit. 8) 8) Vrooooom.

I just wondered anyway if it was possible, because I was scrathcing my head about this just after I got the car. First thing I thought was what an idiot of a designer put an air intake at the bottom of the engine bay? Welcome water. And how the hell was it possible to change the filer? Not from the top I thought.

The OEM intake is tossed away some clever place. I'll never find it again.
