500 Gorgeous new lounge :D

[44sunsets]

Picked up my beautiful new 1.2 lounge this morning!!!

Love this look -- I originally wanted my 500C Lounge in this colour but they had zero stock, so I ended up going with Crossover Black instead. I love the black, but I'd go for a dark metallic grey anytime.

Taking him for his service tomorrow morning, anything I should tell them to leave/not do? Apart from washing him?

You beat me to it about telling them no to wash it - ask for a discount

They sent me a letter telling me to ring a number for my 'loyalty' discount, but I'd already booked it, gonna take the letter and try bargaining though

No, call the number first, get a price then explain they can add it to your existing booking, do this before it goes in or you might not get it

£124 later....

That's not too bad. Where did you go?

Stoneacre in Doncaster, was supposed to £190 but because I've only done 3700 miles, they knocked it down

That's interesting - I might pop down to the Fiat/Alfa specialist and see how much it would be to get my stilo serviced. I'd normally use the local mechanic, but it would be nice to loose the "Service Due" message every time I start up.
Dealer price doesn't sound too horrific...

A good back street garage should be able to reset it also

Really? I've been reading a lot about "service tickets" on the canbus etc, and it seems that it requires the Fiat machine, and most other machines can't do it. Maybe I'll have a word with the local garage/mechanic and see if his machine can do it.

Depends upon the kit they've got and how upto date it is.

Snap-on Ethos units can (we'll my mechanics can).

Multiecuscan can reset the counter.

You should be able to do it yourself by pressing a combination of buttons

Errrrrrrr no.

Not sure where you got that from, has never been the case with Fiats.

I know it works with the 2009 mitsubishi colt I've been driving around in for the last 2 years, but nothing is that simple on the stilo!
The colt has it on the main menu!

Probably find the Fiat tech is years a head of most other main stream manufactures of its year though
