Hello everyone, I'm new here and could use some help.
I recently bought a 1.2 Pop first registered 30/08/2012. On a '12 plate.
I want to give it a full service but every time I go to buy parts online I get told that there are several options or "this part fits some of the cars..." For example, Euro Car Parts lists about 5 different spark plugs and instructs me to check "fitment" details but when I do I'm none the wiser. Even the oil filters are different.
Can anyone tell me what happened to 500's in 2012 (The Haynes manual only goes up to '61 plates). If there was a model change/update how do I know which car I've got?
Also, I've discovered today that I have some oil in the throttle body (and a perished oil box seal). Is there a PCV valve? If so where is it? Haynes doesn't mention one in the index at all
Thanks in advance for any help. I expect I'll be needing a bit now and then as I get to know this car.
