Somewhat weirdly. I have a set of discs and pads for a 2018 comp here as well should anyone need them

They’re about £370 a pair for the disks and over £100 for pads currently.

Sell them if you don’t need them.

Mine weren’t the floating discs so we’re somewhat cheaper I think. Pads are the same though IIRC

So after waiting two months so far I chased the (main) dealer on my 595 order...

To be told it'll delayed another two months ontop of planned delivery to April at least. I did wonder why I hadn't even received a contract ..

I cancelled and ordered with a lease company that's £25 cheaper a month!

The wait continues!

Argh.

Oh cock I was supposed to post you a fuel cap. It's still sat on my desk ready to go. I will try and get it done tomorrow chap!

@Hugo, you have PM!

Geeks, thank you again. No more do I have to fiddle with a key to both old the cap whilst trying to wiggle the thing unlocked!

Ah it all arrived ok then, excellent, glad you are pleased

Hi All

Just touching upon the aerial button, does anyone have this installed with the Sat Nav option?

Picked up a 2018 Comp a few weeks ago with the Aerial button installed, the Sat Nav doesn’t get a GPS fix but the compass is working fine??

Spoke to Abarth countless times to check connections on the Uconnect Live services and they reckon everything fine on their end, Dealer wants £135.00 to just diagnose what the issue is, after doing some research of my own and finding the original stalk aerial in the boot I’ve come to the conclusion that either the aerial isn’t wired up or installed properly, the FM stereo has an external aerial that sticks on the back window, what about the DAB version?

So the comps all came with stalk aerials accept the performance pack equipped cars which had the button. You could for £100 get the button aerial as an option and the FM/DAB aerial is built into the rear glass on the right hand side. And looks like this:





If yours doesn’t look like that I suspect someone’s just purchased the plug and swapping back might fix the problem if the GPS uses that as a signal?

I had a 2018 Comp with the PP and genuinely have no idea what either of you are on about?

The car aerial on normal models is like a bee sting coming out the roof.



The comp with performance pack or as an optional extra could replace that with a metal disc



If it had the disc fitted then the aerial was in the rear right window.

Oh I see haha sorry I thought button referred to an actual button not the disc on the roof lol.

Pidsy do you need any Brembo brake pads? Front and rear - brand new and no cost to you if you could use them (they were gifted to me by a PHer).

You still not used them? However I am very pleased to see them being paid forwards
