Hi all, back for some knowlegable wisdom from you guys.

MarkWithThe Stilo is now MarkWithThePanda. In the 4 years since I first joined and bought a Stilo which I liked, I went to a Peugeot 206 Diesel and 2 Vauxhall Agila's, one of which lasted me a week before a cylinder sent it to the scrapheap (buyer beware, my own fault.)

In that time my daughter bought a Fiat Panda which I really liked. I like cheap motoring, £30 a years tax and group 1 insurance appeals to me so I recently bought a 2009 Fiat Panda with just 48k on the clock. I bought from a dealer and traded my Agila in but the Panda had it's timing belt done and also had a cigarette lighter installed! (something I'd planned to do myself)

I plan on towing a small trailer. I'm using it like a van during the week with the seats down but I just ordered a Tow Bar. Been quoted £100 for fitting which I think I'll take up. I'm OK for things like that but I feel £100 is a fair price for fitting.

Because of the towbar, I plan on keeping this car for 3+ years so I thought I'd reintroduce myself as I'm sure I'll use the forum a lot.
