General 40 000 mile check

[ruinin]

I' like to ask what kind of problems had you guys had as your Panda reached 40 000 miles. Other than those usual oil and other liquid replacement and brake pads, I had none. But now I expect to pay for some new mechanical parts maybe as I am going to have the car serviced at 60 000 km, ie cca 40 000 miles.

Tyres, front suspension drop links (maybe only applies to 4x4 versions), silencer very rusty (though not necessarily leaking), orange indicator bulbs not orange enough, wiper blades worn out.

rusty silencer still going strong
front tyres, rear ones not far behind
$%$%^$%^ rear boot switch
wipers front and back

Well, my Panda was serviced a few months back at 60,000 km. No problems at that point. Front tyres changed at that point too.

Already done 71,000 km (rear tyres now changed) and next service at 80,000km obviously. Most likely brakes soon and I think cam belt aswell.

$%$%^$%^ rear boot switch

Actually the rear boot switch on mine went faulty after a year, replaced under warranty though.

that seems like not much money that I have to prepare - I have already bought a new set of tires
