Panda (Classic) Rarer than a 599 GTO.

[firstcar-Y10]

yep thats my car sorry about the faffing round guessing i was in the middle of cleaning :slayer:

th wheels are 13 x 5.5j lancia montecarlo series 1 wheels 4x98 pdc and a centre bore of 58.1 iirc they are lighter than cinquecento sporting ones which i had itted before :yum:

oh and there a straight fit no spacers needed nd you can use the sporting wheel bolts :idea:

Aye we know what they are! if you check back we're posting these up because Adam (Aston Martin) has just bought a slightly down at heel set of these rims but seems strangely reluctant to clean them up and fit them. Thought the sight of a shiny refurbed set on a good looking motor might just inspire him. (colour's not a million miles away either!) Look brilliant on yours

 

[cheeky cinqy]

thanks i think i parked across from you at mitcar too

 

[panda panda]

You were parked in the wrong place anyway - who are these clubby cento's lot anyway?

Nearly as bad as those FMC lot!

 

[cheeky cinqy]

I'm saying nothing, just hope the cinq/sei section here don't read random classic panda threads

Lots of FMC members in this section though :nerner: Most were parked in FF - I definitely have no printable comment on segregation but if I put this :bang: smilie up you get my drift...... :doh:

I knew you'd take the bait on that one........

Short of pushing them in the lake, what can be done?

 

[Aston Martin]

Todays Parade issue, some kind of engine noise.

Todays Parade issue, some kind of engine noise.

What Herbie is trying to tell you is that he wants a Panday.

Who knows a mechanically minded person may come and diagnose noises!

Panday - bemusing other road users since 2012.

Todays Parade issue, some kind of engine noise.

Did you turn the key? It often results in some weird noises coming from under the bonnet.

 

[Aston Martin]

Kinda tappety, mixed with something catching a high speed fan. Also only sounds at higher revs.

No, there's nothing in way of fan.

 

[Aston Martin]

The unmistakable sound of a a death rattle.

Oh no!

Has Herbie expired?

 

[panda1408]

Think I would be more worried about the rot on that crossmember Hope the rest of it isn't too bad. Its easy to fit a new engine, sorting out major rust issues is not

 

[Aston Martin]

Oh no!

Has Herbie expired?

Not quite, the noise occurs at higher revs. I don't go above 40 and thats in 5th. Above that and the noise is like a diesel running on 3 cylinders.

Tomorrow i'll try and film it.

If the car makes it until September, it'll get welded... along with the sills again.

Exhaust blowing at manifold gasket?

 

[Aston Martin]

Exhaust blowing at manifold gasket?

Does sound exhausty at times, it's weird.

 

[firstcar-Y10]

Cat matrix disintegrating? big rattles and loss of power as the exhaust's partially blocked.
Maybe.

 

[Aston Martin]

Potentially great news.
Hand over the exhaust, no pressure at all. Then it starts screaming from somewhere towards the front end.

Exhaust manifold leaking from gasket.
Haven't got time to fix it today.
