That red Panda on eBay with the Italian stripes over it got an MOT on Saturday, so I'm now commuting in it. £112 + £30 MOT + bit of work = cheap motoring!
I am finding it is overcooling to the point that the minimum 50 is my peak on a 30 minute commute. I replaced the thermostat today, pretty convinced it would be better and it is the same. I will run a blank on the grille tomorrow, but I need to make sure something else isn't going on. I actually can't release the choke fully as it starts to run lean even after 20 mins of driving.
So, question is: does your Panda overcool in the winter?
