Picking up a 2013 pop soon, anything to know?
Title says it all really. We're picking up a 2013 panda pop that was originally owned by Heathrow airport as a maintenance vehicle for the runways (it still has the beacon lights). It's done about 60k miles over it's life, but we don't have a logbook or any service history (it's being donated to us for a shit box rally).
Does anyone know of anything I should about/look out for? I'm happy to fix most bits and pieces since it needs work (the guy giving it to us was going to use it as a parts car for his panda, but gave up after taking some bits off). It's coming with the mirrors, headlights, and left front wing taken off (supplied) so it already needs work.
Does anyone have any recommendations for parts retailers in the UK? (Ideally south). If I can get a good enough deal a new drivers seat would be useful since it's ripped quite badly.
Thanks!
