Just a quick hello to all on the Forum. I have been a lurker for a while but finally got around to joining this evening. I am the proud owner of an 06 4x4 Panda with 96k on the clock, which I have had for 5 years now. It's just getting to the "Do I sell or do I keep" time and as your forum and its members has been a good source of info, I thought it was time to ask the pros.

Thanks to all, for all the info past and hopefully future.

The 2WD is noted for the rear spring pans rusting out. The 4x4 might have similar issues.

But generally, the parts are reasonable so if you can DIY it should be well worth keeping the car. Do check the back axle parts for corrosion. Clean off any rust and treat with a deep penetrating anti corrosion product.
 
Hi 4x4 Newbie!
It seems like we have the model and year common, 2006 for me too :)
I just got mine in October 2018 and it has passed 180,000km but feels quite ok.
Since I am used to old Land Rovers, I am quite happy with the "clonk"-sounds from below, but guess I need to check up the driveline and joints soon.
Hope you keep your "precious"
Best regards,
Hotcliff
