Panda (Classic) Cheaper than a 360 conrod.

So they said they'd ring me at 2:30, they didn't.

But, I just rang them up... (Highlight the text to see it below)

"Yeah, it's passed, that'll be £20."




Panda witchcraft!!!

Maybe word on the garage telegram got around that you are a rather special customer and should get treatment

Edit: treatment your deserve

BTW

Because the car is on fumes, and it's been raining. They somehow didn't see the petrol leak. Which will now get fixed as she is getting ready for resale.

Theres a downside, I have to pay both tax discs tonight... and she is still cold. Sending email to local Fiat dealer part dep, for heater.

On the massive plus-side, I missed that power. Roundabouts are soo much better in a Selecta.

 

[Aston Martin]

I have two options.
Sell as-is.
Spend about £100 on it and then sell it.


Heater.
Parcel shelf.
Tidy the roof rails up.
etc.

 

[panda panda]

Hmmm, with only one pay day before Christmas I would seriously think of giving it some love and selling it on in the early spring (with working tail lights too)

 

[Most Easterly Pandas]

:yeahthat:

I'd leave it until 2nd/3rd Week in Jan, new year, new start and that.

 

[Aston Martin]

That's because it's a later Selecta with grey plastics and not black. Selecta is the normal 1108cc EFi, and the Selecta A is the 999cc carbed early Selectas

Thats a big drop.

Same number as an Aston 2/4.

Agree with Jon.

Tax and MOT will also add massively to the appeal of the car.

Have enjoyed catching up on your little Selecta tale, Mr. Aston

Yep, had a look earlier myself.

Bad times

 

[Aston Martin]

Have not driven the car since driving it back from MOT.

Just fired her up, sounds and runs like a cement mixer. :yuck:
4:30 wasn't the best time to go to the shops, but after several near breakdowns, she started to run better, but still hesitant.

Several, rolling-to-kickdown movements on country roads...

She runs like a peach.

 

[Aston Martin]

Took it to work and its the same.
Awful until its warm.

 

[Aston Martin]

Gonna take it for a run with video. We need to figure this out.

EDIT: She ran fine.

My dear sweet Selecta is getting ready for the auction site of broken promises and hidden gems.
I have a heater tap on the way. Thanks to Vernon.

 

[VmanC]

You mean it's not there yet! That's nearly a hole day since I posted it.

Time to get the Snap On tool kit out

I posted that from work, I got home and it was here.

I have a few Snap On bits from a previous life.

I'm sorry they go with the car, Gavins already tried.

 

[panda panda]

Gavin? wanting roof bars? Gosh

was quite happy without them until Twizzle the mk3 got hers, now Fizzle gives me dirty looks, dare not put the alloys on Twizz for fear of major Fizzy fits

Mk3's need them. Apart from the 100hp.

 

[Most Easterly Pandas]

Mk3's need them. Apart from the 100hp.

Agreed. And the base model Active can pull it off without them also

Yes.
