What about the Fiat Warranty? Doesn't doing the service yourself not comply!

now completed this - myself!

no difficulties at all

changed oil/filter - Fiat Filter and Shell Helix 5w/40 synthetic £40
spark plugs - oe Fiat/NGK €41
checked all round on a ramp at Pit Start £22

lambda sensor failed in europe (contaminated fuel?) and got it diagnosed at Autohaus Kirsten in Germany who fully inspected the car, reset the service reminder and reflashed the ecu with updated map for €35

replaced lambda £35 at the weekend - all good now

Just a few things I noticed.

You can get Selenia KPE + Filter for less @ Shop4parts and ditto for spark plugs

plugs were an 'emergency' purchase at RRP in Germany - did smart a bit as could have bought Denso Iridiums for that money, but Autohaus Kirsten were excellent so no compliants
