Well, the Panda is going in for a bit of work, I bought (from a 2009 panda / 8700 Km in Germany) - Gear lever complete assembly, Gear Cables and steering wheel / airbag, all absolutely as new.
Asked the dealer here to fit them all for us - that is the whole gear lever assembly, control box, everything, the new cables, and the new steering wheel and airbag.
I also want him to supply and drain and change brake fluid, which he is doing, also full rear brake service, drums off, clean inspect and replace, he is also supplying and fitting a BRAND NEW clutch cable and adjustment mechanism. As usual, the car will be fully Valet cleaned before it is returned to us. *yes, they collect and deliver !)
Here is the estimate - it will not be more - that is why we use them, main fiat dealer here... get that in the UK and I would be amazed.
And dont forget - THAT is in Euros, and VAT (IVA) is included and is 23% !!
I wont get my hands dirty at that price.
Also, I kid you not, we went to a Vehicle upholster today, we had a small tear in the side of the drivers seat (probably from someones keys !) and a small burn hole in the back seat - asked him to repair / invisible mend .. took him 25 minutes, he wouldnt take a penny ! - no way . ! - we keep on the Yacht a selection of nice British foods, cakes biscuits etc in display baskets, for special occasions, so we went back and gave him a mixed british cake pack. - again, where in the UK would you get service like that....
What a superb country this is. Honest, decent folk. (in the North !) Algarve is pants lol... too many frigging brits..
