More faults (and some old ones are back)

Further to my broken body computer: http://www.fiatforum.com/grande-punt...c-failure.html

The proxy alignment fault has reappeared today on my GP

YouTube - Grande Punto Fault

I also had paid for the handbrake to be adjusted when it was in before as it was having to be pulled quite high up. I had to pay for the work - which ended up having the rear brakes stripped and cleaned. Well the handbrake still isn't holing the car right so I'll be having that looked at again and I certainly won't be paying for the labour this time as I feel they never resolved it the last time.

My dealer seems to blow hot and cold. Sometimes they are great while other times its like the car comes out with more faults than it went in with!

Top marks to the dealer on this occasion

Everything was written down (rather than the tech receiving a one liners on the computer). Body computer reprogrammed, handbrake adjusted and recall 5119 carried out airbag update.

I've always been careful with the handbrake - only putting it on enough to hold the car.

Handbook says 5 clicks, more if on a gradient dependant on the severity of the slope.

It was taking 7 or 8 clicks on a slope before being adjusted
holds on the same slope at 4 now
