Finally made the big decision, off to Spain for the winter.
purchased a 2011 69 bhp panda in white, tidy but missing, a sun visor and rear underbody guard, also seemed a little slow in comparison with my Kia magentis.
Now the fun, new plugs and leads, changed timing belt and water pump,found timing a tooth out.
next one injector incorrect spec and no's 2&3 connected wrong way round.
Now the worst job, exhaust manifold if blowing 3 broken exhaust stud's,made a jig drilled out and inserts fitted, new gasket and bolts instead of stud's fitted.
went the whole hog and fitted a new clutch,changed all oils filters, brake pads.Beginninh of December 2022 drove the 1200 miles to Almeria averaged 58 mpg.Car is still running perfectly and is ideally suited for life in the sun.all done by a retired coal board fitter with a total cost of car and parts just under £2000.
