@@smarte.r.1450 hey. I actually changed them the other day. Not that difficult if you've got the right tools.. access is a bit of a pain but you get used to the angles after a bit..👍

Sorry if this is a dumb question - I'm new to smart cars. Your video is making me feel it's more normal but want to double check - when I turn the ignition on all the warning lights pop up, and then go off. But the oil and engine light stays on longer than the others, as they do in this video. But they're not on while driving etc. I just want to check that it's normal, or if it is a pre-warning that something needs looking at? Thanks!

Hi. It’s just a start up diagnostic process if they stay on.... clearly it’s then time to investigate further with an OBD READER or call your breakdown provider. 😉. Definitely NOT a dumb question.

@@smarte.r.1450 Phew! Thanks so much for getting back to me (and so quickly)! I was hoping that was the case, so it's a relief. My feeling was that they do go off eventually so all is fine, but you never know! Thanks again! :)

Can you do a video on how to change the gearbox oil? Other than that, great tutorials.

Sorry to hear this. It’s a common problem. It COULD be the actuator is stuck. Switch in ignition to position one foot on brake push gear to 1. Switch off ignition. Get out the car and rock it back and forth. Get back in car position neautral for gears and try and start the car

Anyone know how to turn off the speed volume control???? I changed the radio hoping that would help and $500 later its still does it 🤦‍♂️FML

Not heard of this before but found the - Hold your foot on the brake pedal and push the gear lever to the neutral position. key to position 2 briefly and the car will start the engine. On the diesel smart, as you turn the key to position 1 the preheater light will come on. When this light goes out you can turn the key briefly to position 2 to start the car.

The intro music though…. It’s awful 😢 however 12k views not that many 👎. Hope you find what you need though. Have a great weekend
