Hello, another newbie here!
For my 21st (about 3 months ago) I got a yellow Seicento Sporting which I now love!!! When I first got it it was sooo weird to drive (and it wasn't a Lupo!:p), my clutch has a really high bite and the brake pedal is very stiff AND I have no power steering, so it was a bit of a nightmare at first, but now I love driving it! I should mention I'm still on L plates!
Anyway my poor car's had a few bumps, not from me!!! And it failed it's M.O.T on Tuesday due to the nearside headlamp aim being too low, and the adjusters not working! So after looking through some topics on here we took it off to have a look at it and it was in a sorry state! Some foam had been bunged in under the indicator to keep it in place, as the clips on the head lamp had been broken, also all the fixings on the headlamps had been snapped and then plastic welded into place! It looks a right mess, and has definately had a bump to the front at some point. Anyway after taking it off we realised it also had a manual adjust so tried sticking it back in but it's still not right, and the aim keeps falling so it looks like I'm in need of a new headlight!!! My first major thing on it!
After I've got a new headlamp I want to get some clear indicators, oh and probably more important my handbrake fixed!:D Then I don't know what plans me and my Cheese have got! I just wanted to say what a cracking little car they are and hello!

Also one of the previous owners obviously had the same affectionate Cheese name for it, as they've added some windscreen wiper shields that look like little wedges of cheese hehe!! :ROFLMAO: :D

welcome to fiat forum, you'll be able pick up a headlight at a reasonable price & save some money fitting it yourself. get the handebrake sorted before you get the clear indicators. you dont wont your cheese rolling down a hill like an edam advert. :D
 
I've got a new headlamp:) it's in and at least the manual adjust is working so it should get throug it's M.O.T but the auto adjust thinger isn't working for that side :( Must be the wiring!!! There's been an after market alarm (that oesn't actually function anymore) wired in on that side so I'm not sure if that had something to do with it?

But my GOSHHHH are the headlamps expensive?! Any other car you could pick one up for 20-30 quid!!!

Yes, definately handbrake is next, apparently the function is only 22%:eek: but that's a lot more than when I first got it!!! Hehe, whilst that mental image is funny I defiantely do not want that happening haha!!!

P.S. Thanks for the welcome!

hey, thats good you've got the headlamp, shame about the price!:( there might be a fuse for the auto headlamp adjuster that has blown, give that a try! or is there ment to be a wire going into it to power it, have a look at the other side! check the simple things first.
when you say the brake pedal feels hard, does it travel far down to the floor? (whats the level like on the reservoir? (in the engine bay) if its low it might need new pads & discs at the front & it might need new brake shoes at the back which could sort the hand brake problem because there are adjuster's in the drum which they would set when changing the shoe's! good luck with the mot. :)
