Hi I'm new

Hi everyone,

New member and new owner of a Mkii Panda 4x4, 2005.

Also very new to driving so still getting to grips with it all.

Definitely learning all my panda's quirks which I'm hoping to get some advice on from here.

Likewise -Hi and welcome!, on the panda if you hear some strange noises - dont worry its just the sound of it rusting!

Hi and welcome
Bodies are galvanised so rust shouldn't be too much of a concern...
... but...
... do keep a close eye on the rear subframe, famous for rusting and not easy to repair or replace on the 4x4

Good choice of car! I hope it all goes well.

Hi, thanks for the advice!

The subframe has been stripped and recoated so fingers crossed it lasts

And yeah definitely on the body front, there are a few spots which I'll watch.

One of the easiest Word Associations out there! Would it even be a Fiat if it didn't have the rust!?
