My wife has this car and to be fair she loves it, but every time i try and get something sorted it seems the only options are new parts from fiat italy - a clutch - £650!!! Now i need to get the front driveshafts replaced and Fiat are quoting £600 for each side - Madness! I cannot find the whole assemblies in UK?? Am i missing something? Does anyone have a detailed parts log / schematic I can look up the part numbers of what i want? the internet seems to be empty for once! it seems the carchanged radically in 2014? and pre this time you can get parts but I am struggling for the 2015 - a parts list would be great? anyone got one please? cheers steve

Can you not just get the CV joints instead of replacing the whole drive shaft ?
Why do you need to change the front drive shafts? What are the symptoms?
I just wanted to say thank you, i had never heard of EPER but its invaluable! I have sourced the left driveshaft from poland and the Right from Sicily, and other than these the genuine items from FIAT are £600 each which i think is robbery. I am amazed that getting some spares for this car is such a nightmare, its a good car but we had similar issues replacing the clutch and slave cylinder (inside the gearbox) last year and the dealers quoted £3-3500 to do it?? So they got sidestepped quickly. we bought this vehicle as Pandas are relatively common and the 4x4 had a good rep, but parts wise ...... not again. Symptoms were on left side the whole assembly was loose knocking and bent? on the right side it seemed the two ends were going but the shaft itself was fine, thought it best to replace as a pair. either way thank you for the EPER - lifesaver!
You need to stay away from main dealers and use good independant garages if possible. I use the Alfa Workshop in Royston for any work I cannot do myself. Just as a comparison, a few months ago they fitted a new clutch, new dual mass flywheel and a new concentric clutch release bearing to my 4x4 diesel for £1400 - including a new cranshaft seal and gearbox/ transfer box oils.
If you look hard, parts are not that difficult to get. Anyway, glad you got your issues sorted out.
