I went into Fiats tp speak to a mechanic and a salesman said everything has a shelf life, so I reminded him that I dont pay £18,000 to have a shelf life.
The mechanic hasn't heard of this but then I am not surpised.He said the odometer runs via the ABS and not the gearbox and that if there is a fault it would show up on a reader.I have no faults showing. He also told me that if I put a replacement instrument in, new or used it will have to be programmed at Fiat only otherwise the odometer will just flash constantly. Is this correct or can I get someone else to do it?
