Bad news, with all the rain today I found out that the sunroof leaks
And of course its right above the drivers seat but luckily its only dripping and not pouring out or anything
Suggestions for a fix?

Sun roof Drain will more than likely blocked .. Take poke something down the hole , and make sure tehre is no blockage , and feel how hard the sunroof rubber is ,

 

[blu73]

thats a bit random, never had a problem with it myself, not been parking under trees have you? - but as james says prob a broke drain hole.. Just whip the sunroof off and check them, there is one in each corner

 

[JustAndy]

It certainly is strange because today even though its been raining pretty heavily theres no leak..
But ill pop the sunroof off and give them holes a good poke to make sure they are clear. probably pour loads of water through them to make sure there not backing up either

Not the actual headlights, headlight covers. So can easily take them off and tbh they will probably be "for show use only" when i get proper stuff. Thats window tint on there at the moment just to see what it would look like

just seen that you want to tint your headlights i have done loads have a look at smart tints on facebook but hear is a few pics for you

Could be the aerial thats leaking instead of sunroof, is a common thing on older cars lol

lol when I get chance and its not raining ill give it a good check, thanks for suggesting that, never thought

No doubt it will be the sunroof seal, The seicento had that problem last winter. new seal. no problem

 

[blu73]

that can't be right, the seal would stop water leaking in if the recess was full of water yes, but that recess should never get full of water as it should just drain away.. I would say you didn't really fix your roof properly and were just lucky it stopped the leaking. Even if you left the roof open slightly it shouldn't leak into the car.

Are you headlight covers plastic or just a vinyl sheet?

Thankyou kindly gentlemen.

 

[JustAndy]

Just double checking before I buy them
I know it says Fiat cinquecento in the title but you know what ebay is like
But will these de-yolk my front indicators? lol

And also, what type of sidelight and rear numberplate bulbs do I need. Would like something a bit brighter preferably LED ones

 

[blu73]

they are side repeater ones not front indicators.. you need P21W bulbs (like these) - bear in mind they are the first i found and probably not the cheapest out there, so you need to search, although they are much cheaper than hellfrauds at that price

regarding the numberplate lights, i hate them LED ones they just don't disperse the light well enough and look more like spot lights.. I'd suggest just removing the holders and giving them a bloody good clean, they are usually all gunked up with crap and will appear alot brighter once cleaned up.

Right, well the pipe that got fixed on the back of the throttle body by blu73 a while ago had started to crack and made it hunt and almost cut out again so I attached one of the pipes to the carbon cannister and the other pipe i just tied off a bit of silicone hose so its air tight and attached that.
But now its idle is low, almost stalls all the time and has just broken down on me for almost cutting out so had to ditch the car in a parking bit by the side of the road, get a lift home and go collect it later when traffic has calmed down

Not sure what to do now..

 

[blu73]

 

[JustAndy]

Yeah I know
Gonna go collect later and see if I can tape up that bit of old pipe we used and see if thats any better for now.
not sure why its doing it though..
