Panda has risen. Bought all the necessary bits for fixing and done all the work that I've had time to do but there are still problems...

  • Can't get into first gear
  • Several mounting bolts missing from gearbox
  • Oil leak in gearbox
  • Oil leak from oil filter
  • Very loud and strange rattle comes form under the drivers foot well when at high speeds
  • Handbrake doesn't work
  • Brakes are terrible
  • The boot won't close as the lock fell out on the duel carriage way yesterday
We set off from Taunton on Friday and from Hyde Park at 1pm Saturday, could be interesting.

Go for it guys!!
I'd get those faulty brakes slightly fixed cos the roads in Germany, Swiztzerland and Austria tend to go up and down a bit. And, according to the Times World Atlas, east of there it doesn't get much flatter....
What a great experience!
Good luck & God speed.
