It's time for our Panda 4x4 to find a new home.
Lots, and lots, and some more lots of images in this folder: https://photos.app.goo.gl/5GrJ3j9digziN5Qt5
The basics:
- 131.7K miles (call it 132K between friends!) That number may go up, but only slightly - the Panda's been usurped by the i3 behind it.
- I'm the 6th owner, and have owned it for the last 2.5 years.
- It has a full service history - proper full, not 'it's only missed 50% of services' that seems to constitute a FSH these days! It came without a service book and with the assistance of the supplying dealer I've reconstructed it - all stamped up (bar two - one of which has the invoice, and a car dealer who refused to re-stamp it because just unhelpful
) Last service was at 131.3K - Two keys, one remote, one manual.
Everyone will look up its MOT history anyway, so not much to say there tbh.
I have invoices for everything I've spent on it getting it back up to the condition you can see in the google photo folder. Amongst which are:
Clutch, DMF & concentric slave replacement.
Successfully chasing down & fixing the cause of its occasional smoking on DPF regen (leaking injectors)
New AC condenser.
Suspension parts, various.
Replacing OE plastic wheel with a later leather one.
Fixing a split drivers seat bolster with a leather insert, well-matched to the OE vinyl.
Recent Yuasa battery.
Rear diff & gearbox oil change using proper spec Tutela fluids.
Removal, cleaning & lubrication of gear selector pin on top of gearbox.
Uprated headlamp bulbs.
Tailored rubber mats all round, incl. boot.
Door entry plates x5
Fitting 185/65 all season tyres (same size tyre as the Cross) plus 5mm spacers on the front wheels to ensure no rubbing at full lock because of the slightly different wheel offset. Treads of each are photographed, and scientifically measured as 'plenty'
Regular alignments due to the 3rd World roads hereabouts, last a couple of months ago.
I'll also include 4 litres of Fuchs oil, a fuel filter and an oil filter, so that's the next service covered. Oh, and an external temperature sensor for the budding diy auto electrician to fit if desired - it was beyond my limited capabilities I'm ashamed to say
It's a properly sorted, honest little Panda that has many years service left from its mighty Multijet! The mpg figure on the dash is over the last 5K or so miles IIRC - it won't go below 50 mpg in our hands, no matter what we do.
£2495 but modest haggling welcome.
