Hi all

I am having an afternoon to look around the car tomorrow, prior to taking the car for an MOT (hopefully next week).

Any specific Panda problems that I should look out for?

Rust, rust and rust. It's always a bit iffy with Pandas as you never know what they can find. All you do is make sure the usual stuff is ok and cross your fingers.

Handbrake & wheel cylinders can be a problem........Before you go in for the mot reverse and pull up the handbrake a few times the handbrake remarkably holds better after this. Give it a good run as well which will help with the CO.

If it's the same non adjustable system then yes probably.
