Fitting the Boot Handle on the Fiat 500

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2022
Part: Rear bench seat

An accessory that may seem insignificant at first glance but can be very useful, especially on the Fiat 500, is the boot handle. Indeed, at the back of the rear seat, to pull it down from the boot, there is only a small strap that is quite impractical because it is small and does not allow for much force to pull down the backrest. However, there is a type of leather strap that allows for a stronger pull and can be easily replaced compared to the existing strap. You can find it on store.blackparts.it, in various car accessories. There are different types starting from £15.00. Alternatively, you can also find them on eBay, also in leather, branded Abarth, for £27.94.

How to Check the Oil Level on a Jeep Renegade?

To check the oil level on a Jeep Renegade, you need to open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the lower left side of the engine block, you will find the dipstick for checking the level. This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
