Jim Bell Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 From the template, you're gonna cut a patch using some strong ass material. Like an old pair of bluejeans or some shit. Then you'll need a needle. But not the junkie kind. BL Bloke, loserone, The Moog and 5 others 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur Foxhake Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Commendable repair work. Action Bronson, his pals and their "cookery show" is some quality viewing. I had to explain what exactly it was I was watching when Wuvvum came round with the LDV, in case he thought I was a gang banger.

garbaldy Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 You should have just cut the patch the same size as the existing panel then done the rest the same until you ran out of jeans, two tone seats lush. Jim Bell and yes oui si 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, but I'm not that clever. Something to consider for when this patch fails and falls off though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabergé Greggs Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I like a bit of action Bronson. I went to the place in London’s China town that he goes to for Pork buns in “Fuck that’s delicious” Jim Bell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamb over rice by him and Anchemist is not long out and 4 out of 5 good. As with all "lightly driven" multijets, the wastegate actuator on mine is crudded up and sticky. This creates a bit* of boost lag on occasion which ranges from levels of "I didn't notice at all" to "why is nothing hape...FUUUUUUU!!!". It's a common ting and most just drive around it (see below) HELPFULLY Fiat chose to build the entire car around the turbo so it's nice and inaccessible. With the air box and battery out, you can just about see it. https://youtu.be/WmeCtn7jGtk Plan is at some point to blast it with some wd40 or non brand equivalent and lever it about a bit. This is reported to usually work wonders. Broadsword, Ian_Fearn, BeEP and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbaldy Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Oh dear I fear when mine comes back it will be shit then as the fither in law is a proper Sunday driver, maybe I will give it a good thrashing next time he's over.

Jim Bell Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 First longish trip in the Poo-nda was up to Scotoshite for some grade A foods and chat. It's not that far in comfortable car but my not inconsiderable heft, folded into a panda leaves space rather cramped. Panda seats are also very not comfort. A bar thing pokes you in the arse and there's no support from anywhere. I prepped for the arduous journey by brimming the tank and resetting the trip meter. Early bird catches worms. I cheated by doing a half days work on the way up. dome and Tickman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bell Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 Out on the open motorway the Panda isn't as shit as it really should be. There's loads of sound deadening so it's a reasonably quiet cruiser (if you compare it to a C1, Lupo or some other contemporary competition). By Cumbria I was ready to increase the poo count so looked for somewhere appropriate to stop (by Autoshite standards) I will NOT visit your Craft Shop. dome, Dan_ZTT and paulplom 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bell Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 Made it to the digs and found a bonus free m&m in the underpant draw. You get a mint on the pillow in England. Scotland is odd.

Jim Bell Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 The way home in the morning was grim, even by Scottish standards. Though I did spot a yellow panda in the wild on the way home. Just off in the distance there. I didn't want to spoil it by getting too close. Broadsword, Tickman, Shirley Knott and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
