General 4x4 Panda

[Panda IIs]

Nice and shiny!

Never had an issue on any of mine. (Mines diesel but yes, all 4x4 versions get rear discs). Part of the key is to carry a load now and again so the rear brakes do some work. Otherwise the limiter* will bias towards the front brakes. Also mileage- I used to do 16000 a year. That’s dropped now to around 9000 but still rear brakes looking good (originals F&at at 44500 miles from new)

* I assume there is a load-sending limiter: most cars have them but not actually gone looking for it in the Panda.

Was doing very little, but from last Oct will do 20K/yr. Agree they don't like standing. Assume bias built into the main brake control block, rather than being in a line.

Start issue as a new thread, rather than hijack.

Modern cars dont have bias valve's it's usually part of the abs system

Thanks - I did wonder. WitleyPanda’s now started a new thread to carry on the discussion of rear brakes here https://www.fiatforum.com/threads/rear-disc-pads.498774/
