Hi i own a panda that starts but doesnt run amazingly and it needs a bit of work done to get its mot, unfortunately i cant afford to do all the work bt i really dont want to see the panda scrapped as it means too much to me, soooooo is anybody willing to give it a new home????

The car is red, its the fire/fizz version, its got about 58000 miles on the clock, and its the most amazing panda ever

what needs fixing:

two new ignition coils
a whole new exhaust
three new tyres
and about 200 pounds worth of welding

if you know of anybody who would be willing to give the panda a good home please get in contact

THANKS!!!

Where abouts are you?

Im in forest row near east grinstead and gatwick in east sussex, its haf way between brighton and london

Hey...hello...we know each other!!...we met awhile back..I'm the guy who has a few pandas and spoke to you in the car park behind the foresters pub.

We have also waved at each other..be happy to help any way I can and can meet up. Let me know and I will then P.M you with my number...

HELLO,

Funnily enough me and my friend were tlaking about you the other day when i was telling her about you telling me about the fiat forum, and we were both syaing that we hoped you would appear and you have

So if you PM your number we can meet up or i can phone you and explain what is wrong

Im so happy you messaged!1

P.M sent.. Catch up later just text or call...

If you need a car, it will be cheaper to repair your panda. You can get decent second hand tyres for £15 fitted, and I replaced the rear exhaust for £50. The other sections can't be much more.

Also get another quote for welding as they may well be inflating it a bit if they don't want the work. I used a bloke in Worthing (mot welding) who was good and cheap.

Cheers John

I wouldn't use second hand Tyres. Thats asking for trouble IMO!

why, part worn tyres are fine.
you can also go to a scrap yard and get some fiat wheels with tyres off anything, might be really cheap!

Your joking me right??!

You don't know what the hell had happened to them. Involved in accidents, smashed into kerbs causing invisible damage to the coors in the tyre or had any bad puncture repairs all of which can be potentially fatal!!

Considering how cheap new Tyres are tbh I wouldn't even consider used. Next you'll be telling me used brake pads are worth going for

£15 part worn... £35 new..... Hmmmmm let me think..

Funerals cost a bit more than the £20 (£100 assuming it's all 5) difference

I regularly use part worn tyres! never had any problems with them. You have to be choosy, and I certainly wouldn't pay £15, as Kev says, you may as well buy new if you're going to pay that much. Mine usually cost me anything from 1p to £5, even got a couple for free the other day when I went to collect the one I'd won for 99p .
That's the trick really, don't go to someone who deals in them, get a bargain from Ebay.
