The Smallest Production Cars Ever Built Make Modern Compacts Look Huge

Bill was lucky! A new battery installed and she started first try. The scan gauge showed that the alternator kicked in and was charging. Luckily the parking brake wasn't used (tendency to seize) and all the wheels turned freely. I was able to drive her to my shop where I changed the oil, serviced the brakes and installed the winter tires. Runs like a charm!

21 years and my daily driver is still a smart car!!! The 2006 has been super reliable and I've had no issues other than routine maintenance. I still have the shop but now more time is spent keeping my wifes smart (2012) on the road, the model T running, our 1999 Lexus and relatives vehicles road worthy. And a little time helping csc members!

If You Had To Reduce Your Fleet By Half, What Would You Hang Onto? - The Autopian '' I think I would press my 2006 Smart Fortwo diesel into service as my daily driver. It gets 70 mpg all day long, is nearly bulletproof reliable, and it would hit the spot of being weird and different. I used to daily nothing but Smarts for eight years, so I know it can be done. ''

Out of curiosity I asked the price and the total with tax is $88. And that's after my 10% discount. Is that outrageous or what?????

Uncle Glenn is still available to help. From what you describe it could be a relatively easy fix. Of course once its up on the hoist I would have a much better idea🙂

2024 was rather a quiet time with the T. Liz and I stayed close to home so that we could help look after her elderly mother. I regularly drove it to work and we did attend a couple of 200km tours. However in late August the rear end was getting noisy so she was parked for the season. Finally started working on her in Feb. Turned out that it was the lead thrust washer that had given out. Only lasted 103 years. They are replaced with a bronze one that is only usd25. Gaskets and new bearings probably rounded out the bill to about $400. I was assisted with the repair by a friend who has owned one for over 30 years. He figures he has put on over 100,000kms on his T. He's very dedicated to the brand. I've already put on over 300 kms and everything is back to normal. We were at Timmies yesterday and a young fellow was enamoured with the T and invited us to his familys get together this labour day w/end. Everytime the T is taken out for a drive you get numerous smiles, waves, honks, and enquiries - lots of fun!

This is a 2006 euro version (700cc gas engine) that was on display for over 15 years. Very good condition. Has only 46,000kms. A pure cabrio with silver panels and black tridion. Passion alloy wheels with clock/tach. Asking $5700 Send a pm if interested.

Follow those instructions and I bet you will discover that the problem will be a broken plastic nipple as per evilution. Why worry about the routing of the fluid? In my 20 years of working on smart cars the tubing hasn't been the problem and it would be a nightmare trying to trace it through the car 🙂
