Hi there!
I have a 2014 FIAT 500 1.2 Pop. Two weeks ago, the gears were sticky, then would only go into first and second, but no neutral. So then the gear stick would only go up and down, and not even into any gear.
I took it to a service center and they told me the Gear Linkage was busted, and to leave the car there for 2 days so they could assess it properly. When returning to collect the car, my husband was handed what looked like a wire with a spanner head attached... (photos attached to this thread). He was then told there were no gears (duh... he was holding the gear linkage cable in his hand).
So, the problem is... not one FIAT dealership in South Africa keeps this in stock, because "apparently" it doesn't break?! We were told it would need to be ordered from Italy, and that would take 5 weeks at a cost of R5,500.00 (current conversion rate: €268.79 Euro / £230.97 Pound sterling / $290.26 United States Dollar).
How and where do I get this thing sooner? UBER is bankrupting me!
PLEASE Help...
