Yeah, you can't change, because if you did then Steve won't have the only Norn Iron Panda 750 in Norn Iron. If you see what I mean

We'll see if it breaks down by the end of the week! LOL
After fiddling with all that complicated plumbing (it's one fuel line and one bolt to hold on the regulator for feck's sake!) on sylvia I taxed the car and then gave it a service and drained the gearbox oil and put in some non EP 80w stuff with some slick50.
Tis running so much better now and 3rd is more of a hit than a miss on most changes.
Just never got round to the plugs so that's for another day. Can anybody remember what the Bosch ones are? There here somewhere in the forum....
Alan called round after work just in time to take a snap of me pouring expensive gearbox oil all over my dad's expensive brick drive

I'm sorry Tony, but I just don't do pink gay screen wash! It just clashes with the type of red nail varish I use
I acutally thought someone might of pointed out
"why the feck are you using 40 quid oil in a 200 pound car???"
It was my little moment of madness.... hehe!

Jim using the most expensive oil isn't always a good idea as mobil 1 has a very thin viscosity believe it's 5-40 or 0-40 which is a bit thin for the panda sorry.
sorry.Jim put a couple of tablespoons of flour or potato starch in the top of the engine block... that should thicken it a bit.Alan.D said:Jim using the most expensive oil isn't always a good idea as mobil 1 has a very thin viscosity believe it's 5-40 or 0-40 which is a bit thin for the panda

Why would you say that? It's not as if the 750 got pushrods or other such antiquated devices of the Spanish Inquisition. Its a modern engine that is still in production?

I don't mean it's antiquated but Mobil 1 is normally used for performance cars that produce very high heat and need a thinner oil as a result esp on start up. The 750 although a modern engine as such doesn't need it & requires a slightly thicker oil which is recommended.
I'm not an oil expert Jim but know the Fire uses 15-40/50 and have been told about using mobil 1 in normal engines in the past, but can't remember the full in's & out's of the conversation.

Chris my daughter's 54 plate punto is almost identical to the panda engine it's just the electronic trickery that's different.
