Clutch cable?
Wheel bearing?
Central locking?
Head Gasket?

I think I've just about covered the most common faults... What do I win if I'm right? :p

All this talk of unreliable Cinqs.
I`ve had mine for 3 years only failed the MOT once because the lamba senser was gone (car was still running fine) but guy couldnt get a c02 reading.
And the gear box mount bolt fell out
Never changed the oil/filter/plugs/air filter:I

The engine is very tappy now so thats why i`m having a sporting engine fitted now.
These 1242 engines are out of a Punto are they?
