DIESEL !
Go wash your mouth out ! No-body who can afford to run a car is poor enough to run a diesel...............! My son-in-law put a Fire setup in a Terra and fitted the 4x4 running gear ... then gave it a serious 'icing'. It was used as a mobile disco at raves ... fantastic !
Incidentally...try not to buy a Panda with a CAT. Go for the latest, good, pre-cat model you can.

Money or the car ?

On your old engine, what rating is the alternator and how noisy is it (if at all)? If it's transferrable to my car (the one with twin sunroofs, Pandarus
) I may well be interested.

That good eh? Never realised that FIAT did a small capacity diesel, thought only VW bothered with 1100 cc Diesel (70's MKI Golf I think).
Could seek out a Sergio Tachini edition Panda if loud green seat fabric is your thang... exterior looked very classy though
posh pandas

Do not buy the 106 instead of a panda.Last year my panda was TOTALLY written off with me in it by some idiot late for work who tried to kill us both. I was very shaken up and in hospital for a couple of days. I decided that having had the luckiest of escapes i would buy the next modern SAFE car i saw ,i needed a car for work so didn't hang around and brought a 106 xr R plate one owner 18,000 miles spotless- airbags the works. Two weeks later once i'd got my confidence back driving i was left feeling totally embarrassed driving around in this boring non-desript car with wing mirrors that look like Mickey Mouse ears from behind!! It was just NO fun , no one looked or smiled . from a practical view i also found the pedals close together and kept catching the clutch. My panda didn't nearly kill me - it gave it's life for me:worship: the 106 is now garaged my son is learning to drive in it around the farm,he thinks its an excellent 1st car on the basest it has a multi change cd player, but me i never want to drive the thing again GO PANDAS GO

i don't think i like the painted blue wheel trim for the panda, is it easy to get hold of the right sized fiat ones?

Re: thinking of switching to a panda, need advice
Those blue wheel trims ARE fiat ones. My panda had small silver ones. If you still want to get rid of them let me know, as i would love to have them on my panda

there's a bit of bad news for you... i had the car towed back hime today... and the engine seems in a much more civilized condition than when you could fry eggs on it... started it about 5 times.. no complaints but definately blowing from one cylinder into the water cooling system... So the engine will live!!!FuzzyPanda said:On your old engine, what rating is the alternator and how noisy is it (if at all)? If it's transferrable to my car (the one with twin sunroofs, Pandarus
I have booked it into a garage who asked me
... well unless you find me an automatic car that's relliable and uses naff all petrol then YES! of course. however i suspect it would cost much less...
Re: thinking of switching to a panda, need advice
Yes they look nice. If you get the car, check that the sunroof catches are working, and that there are no leaks/splits (pour a bucket of water over the car and then check inside for water)

Can it not get to the top or something?
Thanks for the update on your engine Tony. I may well have a go at replacing the bearings in the alternator myself at easter...
