See, thats how pandas are supposed to look. Either really durty or really clean

See what you mean bout the headlight switch. Going to stick in a new relay and see if that makes a difference?

Going to stick in a new relay and see if that makes a difference?

I am seriously concidering sticking a relay by each headlamp to stop this problem, but do happen to have 2 new relay's sitting aside at the mo (one for the spotlight grille from Sam that's now on dad's selecta, but not wired in, and the other for the headlamp washers (so they only work when the headlamps are on) fitted to my selecta) but I could use one and get another to replace it (only £2.70 from Maplin electronics).

If my on call shifts are right would anyone be interested in getting their Panda really dirty ?

You would be playing on the plains and have to cope with the usual ruts and puddles ?

We will have a Winch equipped surf with us, somehow I can see the winch being needed

All this whilst doing a treasure hunt !!!

The date would be the 30th November

So tempting. Althought I think I'm going to have beaten this by the end of the month very easily (and that's just going up and down the farm track to the farm house I'm currently in at college)

That looks clean Jon

Lol. I judge it on the readability of the rear numberplate, and when that is caked the comp goes to the readability of the front plate as that normally takes longer to cake up.

And I never once got stopped for an unrecognisable plate! (but I was sensible unlike most, and did clean all my lights regularly!)

Well after the starter motor problem being sorted by the nice AA bloke this afternoon, I then went down to my main college site, only to end up doing some towing with the Sisley. My first bit of towing in anything other than a tractor

Hell yea :slayer:

She's getting filthier as well. She already put's most 4x4's to shame just parked next to them

 

[JimMagill]

Good, You can tell that your really enjoying it and I'm loving the pics of it working its wee heart out

Hope it's good to you but do clean it the odd time, hehe

It's all very strange, isn't it ?
As I've been re-building 'freak', I've found myself cleaning each and every component as I refit it !
It's all a bit worrying ... by the time I hit the road again, it will be in a shiny car !

Bring on the mud :devil:

Lol. When at college to be honest, I'm not going to bother, because it'll only be like that again within a week (bear in mind it was clean when I started driving her only 2 weeks ago this Sunday coming, and most of that is going up the track to the house and not off roading )

But come holidays when she's at home for a few days she'll be cleaned and polished

And the de-funct headlight switch

Right, the bloody sisley is currently frazzeling its current (replacement/2nd) headlamp switch

I was thinking about the headlamp switch problem and thinking that it might not be the headlamps burning them out because of the relay fitted, but could be the dimmed/dip that the Panda's have. :idea:

Could someone if possible label the above pins for me so I can work out that the really melted one is connected to please

Currently having to go around with headlamps always on because I dread turning them off incase they fail to re-light

Jon.

Hello Jon.
Looking at your picture, reading from left to right, D-C-B-A.

" B " is the badly melted one.

Rgds.

Correct

What is B for though?

Obviously we have a Live in, and one for headlamp relay, one for dim dipped and one for something else

Jon.

Forgive me Jon, I forgot a couple of old pictures for you !!!

These are for the unexpected offroad section

Firstly we have the Landcruiser which went for an outing when the paint was still wet behind the ears

and now guess the car !!

You got it, the nutter took it to Devil's pit, with ROAD tyres - yep it's stuck

As regards the LC you will note it has NO snorkel, I would love to see the mechanic's face when he took in for a service !!!

A BMW X5 did appear on a plains run, but scarpered when we beckoned him over - admittedly he would have to have gone through 2 ft of water :devil:

They paid all that for a porche and couldn't even afford off road tyres

My Sisley done better than that in comparison with £16.99 budget tyres, is was only when it sunk because I stopped that it got stuck, but a good ole Defender 90 and a tow cable between our tow bars soon sorted that out

More like 'I got a 4x4, it will go anywhere'
