How do you replace the inside handle of the Smart Roadster?

Model: Smart Smart 452, Roadster - Years 2003-2005
Part: Handle

In order to replace the inside handle of the Smart Roadster you have to remove the door panel by loosening the various screws. Once the panel has been removed, it will be possible to access the handle actuator, which will be inside the door: the latter can be removed from its housing by loosening the fixing screws and disconnecting the connector. Once the old actuator has been removed, it will be possible to insert a new one, connecting it to the connector and fixing it with its bolts; finally, the door panel will also need to be reinstalled.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
