Hi From Pembrokeshire

Hello everyone,

First post here having just bought a very clean 63 plate 1.2 Panda from a local indie. Only 56k on the clock, very reasonable price and he fitted a new timing belt kit as part of the deal so that's a big expence kicked a long way down the road. This is my first Fiat and I like it a lot, lovely car to drive.

Looking forward to drinking in the undoubted level of knowledge here.

Hi and welcome

Plenty of good info on here ..

Lesson 1.. turn off the Chidlocks on the rear doors

Lesson 2, check that BOTH KEYS start the engine

They are not bad cars.. weve had one for a few years

Charlie - Welsh Valleys

Why turn off the child locks?

 

[varesecrazy]

There have been a few instances of the door locks failing internally.. so the outer handle does nothing !!

Inconvenient.. but if the inner handle is Disabled with the childlocks.. then its a major job

Thanks for that, I've just been out to check and the child locks were already disabled. No kids so no worries.
