Posts: 3,025 Thanks: 173 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | I'm Back With The Panda 750L 1991 My Story Hi folks, its been a while since I had a panda after selling Purple Haze the Parade and Engelbert the Sisley (to @Freebo ) the former I sold because my wife was pregnant and I felt (wrongly) that I needed a bigger (and to my mind at the time safer) car for ferrying my son and wife around in. A very short while after I sold the pandas I developed Generalised Anxiety Disorder, I have had it now for nearly 2 years and I am FINALLY starting to get better it seems. The paranoid thoughts that I was going to put my son and wife in danger in the panda were part of this in my opinion. Selling the Parade was a huge mistake on my part (and as older forum members were know it was subsequently written off in a low speed crash by the new owner) though the Sisley is much better off with Freebo as he appreciates the 4x4's (they are not to my taste on the open road but are amazing in a field IMHO) and I have regretted it. I have not had a car for some time now partially due to my illness and partially due to the fact I have lost my job due to my illness, though as forum members will remember I am a Youtuber too. Fast forward to last night and I was browsing the forum and I came across an ad for a 750L in Glasgow (I am in Prestwick), and it was free but had to be collected today or in 2 weeks time. Being the impatient (and obviously anxious) type, I arranged through a friend of a friend to have it collected today. It arrived at 1pm and I am utterly flabbergasted at the condition. Out of my 3 Pandas it arrived in the best condition IMHO. So I am very thankful to the seller but forgotten their forum name cos the ad has been deleted! So thanks Ian (I am sure you are reading) Ian reported that it has an oil leak under pressure, and as far as I can tell so far the problem is the oil filter housing which would be a super easy fix ![]() I couldn't be happier at this point and I cant wait to share my progress on here and Youtube for you all to see ![]() Cameron ![]()

Posts: 3,025 Thanks: 173 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: I'm Back With The Panda 750L 1991 Really pleased with this car, would like to get the welding done sooner rather than later, its the seams in the rear arches, pretty common and not too expensive to sort out if i remember correctly. Really is a lot of good things about this car though, its tight as a drum!

Maybe we should express the 'smile a mile' theory of driving a Panda to the current Health Secretary so it can go on an NHS prescription. They are cheaper than paracetamol! Dave
