Hello folks,

anyone have any clutch problems with a new Panda? Mine started slipping at 33-34,000 miles on a 54-reg (Sep 2004-ish). It had 23 miles on the clock when I got it. Most of the miles were motorway, no gear changes, foot on footrest away from clutch.
I've had other Fiats (Puntos I and II, old Panda), from next to new up to 60 and 70,000 miles and never a hint of any clutch problems. I've not changed my driving habits.
It's being replaced now, but the warranty people are reluctant to stump up.

Anyone think this is unusual?

Thanks in advance.
 
i know this is probably taking this thread a bit off topic
is thre any uprated flywheel / clutch kit available for new panda??
is the 1242 the same as punto? are there not organic clutches and lightened flywheels for those cars?
can these bits be swapped between the two
 
Thanks for the replies people. No strange noises like member Doblo, and no floppy pedal like member Turboned.
Hopefully more news from the dealers shortly. I'll keep you posted.
