Will My Fiat Panda 4X4 Survive Bastard Lane? - Wales Trip Part 2
This is the big one!
My Fiat panda 4X4 takes on one of the most brutal lanes in Wales.
Horse shoe lane, also known as bastard lane is an incredible place!
There is a good reason this lane is called bastard lane..
I hope you all enjoy, and cannot wait for the next adventure!

Fiat Panda 4X4 Takes On Claerwen Dam - Wales Trip Part 1
Переглядів 1,1 тис.21 годину тому
Part 1 of my weekend off roading in Wales! We tackled Claerwen dam, which is split into two sections. The upper lane is mainly a flat, rutted gravel road, which runs around the edge of the resivour. There is then the lower lane, which is much more interesting! River crossings, puddles, rocky parts and beautiful views. Not too difficult, which good ground clearance is needed. Part 2 coming soon!
Fiat Panda 4X4 LED Headlight Upgrade
Переглядів 808Місяць тому
In this video, I am installing some LED headlight bulbs to my Panda 4X4. I was sent a kit from Auxbeam to try out, and so far I am really impressed with the LED Lights. It is still early days with the bulbs fitted, but so far I am loving them. If you want a pair, check out : auxbeam.com Please note, these bulbs may be for “ off road use “ in some countries.
How to Transform The Fiat Panda 4x4 - Installing A Mechanical Coupler
Переглядів 16 тис.2 місяці тому
In this video, I will be fitting my latest upgrade! This is a mechanical coupling unit, which will be replacing the viscous coupler mounted to my rear differential. The idea is, on road I can put the car into 2WD, and then when the going gets tough, I can switch it into 4WD, which is a mechanical direct link from the front differential to the rear. This is essentially activating a central locki...

12:46 - I love how the lane looks like, so nice & green
Amazing Panda it is, great video.
Thank you !!
problem is if you had a crash and the other drive have same insurance and they find you got illegal led bulbs ya stuffed and would cancel ya policy and also may sue for payout for the other driver you had a crash with if when happens
I’ll keep that in mind
Just think, if this was an American, we could have the dramatic music, countless shots from different angles, loud presenters, lots of drama etc. It's nice to just enjoy the sighs and sounds properly.
Thanks for the feedback! I try not to over complicate it !
I've the 4x2 version, producted in 2003, and it's the car that I loved since I was a little kid! Greetings from Italy! 💚🤍❤️
Very nice !!
Hello Pedro, I have exactly the same car, only LHD. What tires are you driving on? And where do you got the 40 lift kit? You are a great driver, with a great Car!! Thank you!
Hello! Oh very cool! The tyres are Maxxis worm drive , 215/70 r14. You can buy a 40mm lift kit from a company called rialzi .
It's amazing where Panda can go with a great driver behind the wheel. Great video!
Thank you!!
😀
Hello, I need to put 20 millimètres spacers at the rear of my 169 4x4. Do I need to remove the rear diff to do it ? Could you give me some explanations please ? Many thx !
You can buy rear spring spacers. These sit ontop of the spring. No need to remove the diff, just the dampers and springs
The paths you have passed with the little panda are amazing! That's a great car.
Thank you very much !
Love it 🚙💨
Thank you !
Top gear rules.. let him get the AA to flat bed it home.
Haha 😂 we should have !
Impressive. Is all the mechanical stuff standard? The 4x4 gears, diff... And so on
So I did fit a slightly bigger engine out of another panda. So it’s a 1.4 instead of a 1.2. And I swapped my viscous coupler for a mechanical one.. but that’s it.
@@PTP4X4 its a really capable little car. Great stuff. And cool channel. Looking forward to some more offroad panda stuff :)
I'm tempted to head into Wales, and now the water levels have dropped since the very wet winter.
Well worth it.. such a beautiful place and plenty of lanes
Awesome video 👌
Thank you !
Rainx is amazing at clearing the glass when a puddle goes over the screen
I think next time I’ll put this on before I go !
Good Evening . I am watching your videos from Greece. Can you tell me the metal rims are 14 inch or 13 inch.
Hello ! These rims are 14 inch fiat punto rims
@@PTP4X4 Thank you very much. I also have a fiat 🐼 4χ4 I want to change the alloy wheels to metal ones with off-road tires.
Leader of the Pack!
Looks like the ESP is kicking in?
Proper green laning , I hope you find it much more enjoyable than splashing about in a puddle.
Can’t beat splashing in a puddle
If your 6 years old & still in short trousers.
Exactly ! Brings out the inner child in us all !
Pedro is killing it!! What a legend
Thank you !!
Did the door seals hold?
Yes pretty well !
Awesome work the more panda videos I see the more I want one
How does it compare now to the mk1 panda 4x4
Mk1 pandas are good as well. Bit less usable but they are lighter.
@@PTP4X4 I mean the mk3 as good as a mk1 if the mk1 is modded they seem to have the edge no? I’m after a mk3
😍
nice videos, It looks like the bulbs have been turned upside down, I have LED and the light has to reflect off the top of the headlight not the bottom
Thanks for the info, I’ll check this out
wondering about the red Skoda in the background. my mother owned this from new and I am desperate to buy it back
What a find.
As others have said, these are completely illegal in standard factory Halogen Headlamps unfortunately, doesn’t matter if the beams ‘correct’ just fitting these bulbs is illegal and MOT testers now have to check for LeD bulb conversions as part of the MOt test. Problem is, the light gets thrown everywhere by the reflector in the headlamp. To be legal you’d need to fit projector style headlamps with the led bulbs, these and the bulbs need to technically be e-stamped as well to be legal. People here have said about ‘legal’ LeD bulbs but what they mean are performance Halogen bulbs. Osram night breakers and Phillips Racing Vision GR200 performance Halogenbukbs are the market leaders around £20 a pair on Amazon. The thing with LED bulbs and NOT testers is only part of the issue. If you got stopped by a DVSA roadside stop or by Traffic Police, they can have the car taken off the road, towed to impound and get you to pay release fees, a fine, points on your licence and an MOT retest before you. Put the Panda back on the road. Loads of information online, on the DVsA website and enthusiast sites about this mod. Even in your video you can see the bean scatter from the LED’s in the comparison.
In my state (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) switch lamps to LED are currently illegal 😭 Luckily my VW UP have good lamps (better than my mother Hyundai Creta), the only thing I can swap are the yellow-ish H4 lamps for some “super white” lamps, because reflective internals of the headlights. But a lot of people with big expensive SUV who blinds everyone doesn’t seem to have any legal problems with it 🤦🏻♂️
Try to use those built-in projector led headlights, they use the lens in the low bream and the housing for the high beam, and don't blind opposing drivers if well aligned. Also they are great for fog time
They're definitely not legal. Some MOT centres don't care, some it's an instafail. I've got some Philips LED coming for my Freelander 2 but I'll be keeping my old ones just in case.
Yeah I’ll do the same
I work for a well known car parts shop and we fit bulbs and sell bulbs. We sell the led conversion kits which say in big letters “off road or track use only”, our mot centre will fail them straight away as the light isn’t reflected correctly, for my panda I use the 150% brighter bulbs, they dramatically improve my vision without blinding people
I wasn’t sure if they are for off road use or not, but they don’t seem bright enough to be blinding. But worth bearing in mind ! If these don’t work out I’ll look into the bulbs you mentioned !
@@PTP4X4 Halfords do h4 bulbs up to 200% brighter which we run in our defender 90, both my car and my wife’s cars run the 150% so if the led’s don’t work out there is another option
Nice to see someone had the exact same thought process as me, haha. My current car has some Xenon headlamps as standard and some FYRLYT incandescent extra lights. Did use LED conversion and a massive LED ramp, but it was simply TOO bright when it came to road signs, it blinded me almost. So at times there can be things that are TOO much.
Great thanks
You can buy the Osram "Night Breaker" LEDs, with 230%. Osram claims that they are legal for the 169
😀
Do note that they are illegal. The headlight housing is made to reflect the used light source which I assume is normal incandescent or xenon. LED reflects differently and will need their own specific housing to be on the path of being legal (which still requires a bunch of test stamps and costs, at least in the EU) That is also why it's so EXTREMELY important to level them correctly as you will from time to time probably blind people unintentionally due to the reflections, no amount of levelling will remove that, so be sure to make it as good as can be. I made LED conversion myself some time back and even got it passed in inspection due to a relatively good levelling, but they can still just automatically fail you for using illegal light sources if the inspector is cranky or very by the book.
Thanks for the info. I’ll put in the description for the video that they may be for off road use only. I have adjusted them so the beam pattern is in the correct position. They don’t seem to be too high now
@@PTP4X4 I suggest checking ChrisFix's video on headlight levelling. It's 9 years old but it's what I used, a fairly solid measurement and what I personally used.
Have you got a route plan for this run? Or just the TWIS for the fording bits?
I just used the TWIS .. but to be honest this route wasn’t that amazing .. just a small road with the river crossing

Amazing video! Congratulations!
Thanks !
@@PTP4X4 - You're welcome. I got one 2005 myself. It truly is an amazing vehicle in all matters.
How does the Panda behave now with permanent 4x4 drive compared to before?Are there significant differences?By the way,kudos to you for your excellent video work.Keep up the good work in the future. Greetings!
Thank you very much ! So on road I keep it in 2WD, which basically feels like it did before. But in 4WD there is a big difference. You can feel the direct mechanical join and the rear wheels really help to push the car out of tricky situations
😍 Love the cobble stone ford, where is that?
This is in Yorkshire
Where abouts in Yorkshire, I’d love to visit that.

Panda Power ❤
You are very lucky to have the possibility to running this places, unfortunatly in my country all off road is denied!
I think the best pairing for this system are manual hub lockers on the rear wheels, even if you cut power going to the rear, the diff is going to be driven as the wheels move along so even though it's not as much as when it's driven there is still efficiency losses and wear. This also would open the door to installing a simple rear locking diff or even welded without compromising everyday drivability.
Great!❤
Very nice. Great 😊👍
Thank you! Cheers!
The radio antenna bending on the rack, why not replacing it by a smaller one? On my up! the original antenna covered in rubber started to break and I replaced it with an small aluminum antenna from Aliexpress, basically the smallest I could find since my radio works fine even without an antenna, and I mostly only use it to play from my phone Bluetooth anyway.
It never really bothered me, but I may replace it in the future !
I want to do something similar but on a smaller scale on my VW UP! I just really need some bigger tires, maybe 15~16” preferably OEM from other VW, so nobody notice at first. I just need it to me a little higher to be more comfortable on bad roads.
That would be cool! I’m sure you could buy a lift kit for it as well which would be cheap and easy
@@PTP4X4 I think would look weird a lifted up with the 14” tires. My up is the Brazilian model, basically an European crossup without the plastic around the wheel arc.
Nice ratcheting spanner @12:37 🤣
Such a beast, very nicely done mate
Thanks !
Awesome little rig.
Thanks !
What wheel size aru you running?
