Hi everyone... I became a panda owner for the first time a couple of weeks ago when I purchased a rather snazzy 1992 CLX. The more I drive it the more I like it! I can't help but admire its unfussy practicality and simplicity.
I do however have a few questions, which I would be grateful if some of your more experienced Panda owners can help with.
1. The Panda has been a little slow to start in the recent damp weather (though was ok in the subzero temperatures!). It turns over for around 5 seconds and needs a bit of gas before it will fire... then runs rough (2/3 cylinders, wont rev) for another 5 seconds or so before it sorts itself out. Any ideas where I should start looking to improve the cold starting?
2. I am thinking about installing an electronic ignition - I found a universal "Gammatronix" one on ebay (tried to post the link but it wouldnt let me. Has anyone had any experience with these? Are they any good?
3. I am looking to get a roof rack. The car already has raised plastic "bars" running along each side of the roof. Can you clamp roofracks onto these bars?
4. Is anyone selling a roof rack?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Richard
