Pandarus · Feb 19, 2013

Like buses, four come along on eBay at once - THREE of them are Sisleys:

Lots of times... Or rather it's been spoken about lots of times.

you can't run it in 4wd mode on the road so not a lot of point in my opinion.

Two of them have been on eBay before recently.

Same sellers?

Maybe we should post the reg no in the thread title so we can keep track of the panda-go-round-ebay-ride ?

I recognise the one with nasty wheels and half the rear roof chopped off - for game shooting iirc.

The shooting one is still the same seller but the green one is the guy who bought it from Reading.

Why cant it be ran in 4x4 on the road?

goodgirl156 · Feb 20, 2013

I think it actually said in the handbook up to 30mph.

Its not a complex system and no performance is gained by using it in 4wd mode

If you look up the various types of systems you will see that unless there is a certain amount of slip...ie ice, mud, snow etc....you will get torque windup and crabbing. This will break most of the components pretty quickly.

This applies to my Toyota too...only in 1996 did Toyota sort this problem out with a centre diff.

The fiat system is as basic as they come.

ahh Right i get you

i thought that was just on the new panda , and not the old (Y)

think a 16v panda would be awsome

There are 16v pandas out there...and yes they are great. Lots of info on here about 8v and16v conversions. Lewey a member here has YouTube stuff on track days showing him blowing away modern stuff.

jatkinson · Feb 20, 2013

yep ive got a cento , so would think it would be along the same line apart from the fuel injection and such

Yes, the sisley of death, Muh huh ha ha ha hah

Vile contraption

Dragon Man · Feb 21, 2013

ill have the white one please.. ya know... non sisley one.. hehehe i'd have fun with that.

also a little panda fun fact: the fiat panda was the first road going production car to be fitted with a 4x4 system.

you could make the car drive in 4x4 mode all the time, but you would have to cook up some fancy free wheel clutch thing to separate the front wheels from the back.

theres also the gearbox to think about too.. anything more than the 999cc engine's power could shred it to bits

Jon I think you mean the first production car with a transverse engine and 4x4, it certainly wasn't the first production car!
