Newbie in Herefordshire

[pangloss]

Hi All from deepest darkest rural Herefordshire. My son's learning to drive and I've just bought a "fixer upper" for him to practice in and as a runabout for when he passes his test. I'm hoping a bit of father & son time repairing the car together will give him a bit of mechanical sympathy and make him appreciate the car more.

I'm a sucker for punishment and enjoy a bit of spannnering, though it's usually on farm machinery and light industrial.

I'm hoping to pick a few brains if I run into Fiat problems.

Thanks! It's a 2014 Panda 4x4, which will be ideal for the steep muddy track to our house. It's a bit battered and has some bits missing, but we made a good start yesterday.
