Excellent, many thanks for your support!

[@persevere777]

Great new opening format and graphics😊

[@UKPanda4x4]

Many thanks! We appreciate your support.

[@jaywalker1233]

Wow, that rear diff ECU looks very vulnerable to high water - crazy place to put it

[@awtistiaeth4699]

Cheers. Very useful as I'm just about to go and view a 2009 model with very low mileage.

[@UKPanda4x4]

No problem - glad we could help. I hope the car you are going to view turn out to be perfect.

I’ve got a 2010 Cross that seems to be in far better condition than most & want to keep it as a future classic. Would Freddie be able to have a look at it for me & advise on maintenance eg removing & galvanising the subframes? I’d obviously pay for his time & take it to his workshop. I’m a member of your FB page.

I have no doubt that he would be happy to help, you can get his attention through our facebook group.

Great idea for a video, very useful and informative

[@allthingsandyb]

Thanks for the support Cam

[@UKPanda4x4]

Thanks big lad!

I saw one of the older shape ones for sale for 15k

[@allthingsandyb]

Prices are going mad on all marques now

[@jaywalker1233]

I had an ‘85 and then swapped it for a ‘Sisley’ (with the fun gauges!). Loved both - unfortunately so did the tin worm…

[@bodders306]

That Strada Abarth has been there for months and months…..!

[@stanthesteelguitarman8228]

What else can you expect on a 12 year old vehicle with 140,000 miles on the clock, which has also likely to have been driven on rougher terrain than even today's UK pot holed roads?

[@allthingsandyb]

You can't expect alot less, but it doesn't warrant keeping the prices so high when the majority of people will be unaware of underlying issues.

[@stanthesteelguitarman8228]

Yes, I agree. Actually the age is 16 years, not 12 as I originally miscalculated. Ready for the scrap heap very shortly, perhaps?@@allthingsandyb

[@allthingsandyb]

​@stanthesteelguitarman8228 ironically, this car was already saved from the scrap man.

@@allthingsandyb that’s where YT channels like this are so valuable, sharing this information

[@UKPanda4x4]

Thankyou for the support of our channel!

[@rodneyhull9764]

Twinair v diesel ?

[@UKPanda4x4]

One for the future, for sure.

[@DasMachy]

Hi guys, what year is it? Does it have an ESP? I bought a 2007 Cross and somehow I have viscous coupling :(

[@UKPanda4x4]

This Panda is 2008 with ELD, I believe the earlier models (2006 - 2007) were still a viscous coupler without ELD.

[@raspail99]

I HAVE ONE, NOT 4X4, 1.2, 69CV, EURO5, 250K KM, SILL WORKING GRATE, NEVER HAD ANY MAJOR DEFFECT.

[@UKPanda4x4]

Excellent, the Panda in all formats is a fantastic car with a reliable engine.

[@jaywalker1233]

Wow, that ECU is very vulnerable to water

[@allthingsandyb]

They only have a wading depth of about 400mm aswell

[@jaywalker1233]

@@allthingsandyb that’s the advantage of the Mk3/Series 2 Pandas - purely mechanical Ferguson / GKN 4x4 viscous coupling system (up until July 2008) which can plough through quite deep water (with snorkel etc) or flash flood conditions without worrying about 4x4 electronics and ECUs etc

[@andrewmunz1639]

They are now 1800 quid,

[@allthingsandyb]

What, all of them?

[@andrewmunz1639]

As far as I can see is in Feb,24 fiat have them new at 1900 in Sept 24. But on e bay, it's difficult to get the right one but used at 270 free delivery to Edinburgh? (Im in inverness)but when it was fitted all studs and Knuts siezed and replaced
