Rear suspension result

took the panda in to my local garage, not the one I usually use, and took a tech'y for a drive, thinks the knocking is down to a faulty shock/bush so they're having the car for the day on tuesday, if they have the parts it'll be fixed then, anyway, the interesting bit, I got chatting to the guy about the new abarth line up including the new garages, upon return to the fiat dealership he showed me around the new not yet opened abarth garage (based in a subaru dealership) and let me in on how it would all work, they even had red abarth embroidered leather bucket seats as office chairs, looks awesome!

(as did the scoobs)

Re: Rear suspension result

lol

got the panda back this evening (been in for a day) turns out the rear NS caliper slides were loose/slightly worn, they have been greased and refitted now but if the problem returns a new caliper will be fitted
