Don't know if you remember me??
Some might, some might not. I used to own a Sisley. Unfortunatly it met its death and some of you may remember me asking if I could salvage the running gear, engine and box and do a conversion onto a Seat Marbella.
Well...... thats where it kind of stopped. The conversion never started and decided to leave the whole Panda 4x4 scene.
Now, a few weeks ago some of you may of seen this Panda 4x4 here on eBay. Well, I'm now the proud new owner of this rare object and not going to make the same mistakes as last time!!
MOT is due on the 11th of this month but has tax til Jan 07. Paid £102 for it and so far have found no evidence of the head gasket/engine problems as stated in the eBay listing.
Been for a few jaunts so far and very happy.
Here is a quick pic on its very first journey since being owned by myself.....
Click for pic, save bandwidth!! hehehe
All in all i know its not much but for the money and considering how rare these things are rapidly becoming, I'm one very happy Panda 4X4 owner!!
Couple of problems I have noticed.......... I can't seem to dis-engage 4x4 mode anymore. As its been stuck in 4x4 mode and I have done a few miles in it I have noticed that when turning into my drive which has some loose gravel it grinds the wheels round when turning quite hard at a low speed. Also, when there is a lot of weight in the car it sounds like the prop is bouncing and low speeds when turning hard. The last problem does not seem to happen when it is just myself in the car.
If these could be answered it would be most appreciated.
Most importantly........ I'm back and a very very very happy little Panda 4x4 owner!!!!
