Hello guys, got to work this morning with the Panda and loving it so far!!!

Turned off the cars and whilst I was waiting for the boss to arrive and open the shop I heard a noise I'm not sure if it's normal or not...

I've attached a video so you can hear. It's just about hearable. It's the repetitive sound that sounds like a fan scratching something on each turn ..

Nope, not normal

That's a bit spooky. I listened to it via a Marshall Acton Bluetooth thingy speaker and it sounded a bit, er, how can I say this? Other worldly. I think the only thing that can cure that is a Priest and half a gallon of holy water.

Ahem, sorry to be flippant, but I've never heard anything like that before. The only serious thing I can think of is that the handbrake isn't quite on properly and the brakes are making the noise as it moves minutely.

I was at work for four hours and the rear of the car was about 6cm close to the wall behind it (very close lol). If it had of moved surely id have saw it be touching the wall it was so close to? :-/

[Conclusion]

I've concluded this noise is something to do with the brakes. Because I heard similar noises when the parking brake is applied even on level ground / movement of the car.

It doesn't move, so I can only suspect the brakes are safe and sound.

Think a single Fiat Service will get to the bottom of any serious defects if any?

And I'll update. Let this be a future space for other owners to share info on if they have the same noise?

Is it hot where you are??
