Just bought a rather tidy Panda the other week with only 61,000 on the clock, 12 months MOT for £900. It's a 1.2 standard model, so it's not going to set the world on fire but it seems like a nice comfy car without much wrong
Treated it to some fresh oil, filter, air filter and spark plugs straight away but since there's no record of the belts being done I want to be safe and change them.
I've seen a few guides here and will have a go at home, just want to make sure I'm buying the right stuff for the job:
Dayco Timing Belt Kit
ContiTech Drive Belt
Circoli Water Pump
Is this all I need?
Also noticed the cable cover that looks like the earth from the ECU has melted, which isn't good but doesn't seem to be giving off any heat since I've owned it (might be on old problem) any ideas with that one?
Future plans are simple, I just want to keep it in good nick and make it last as long as possible. Front suspension looks rather rusty so I will probably replace both sides before next MOT and I definitely will be upgrading the head unit and front speakers.
Here's too at least a good few years for happy motoring
