Hi All,

I'm after some servicing parts for my girlfriends Punto Grande.

I don't really have an idea of what was done on the previous services (but they have been done regularly). We bought it with 52k on about a year ago, and it now has 58k.

I was wondering what you would recommend replacing and where the best place to buy parts from would be?

Thanks.
 
Look through service history and see what been done and when, plugs are to be done every 18k and you may aswell do the leads

So I would get
Plugs
Leads
Oil
Oil filter
Air filter
Possible cabin filter

Look on euro car parts
 
I tend to use Carparts4less. Usually slightly cheaper than ECP: Clicky

If petrol model then plugs here (bought some this week myself): NGK

Don't forget our site sponsor Shop4parts. Genuine gearbox oil etc: Clicky
don't forget they give a discount for site members

Definitely
- Plugs
- Oil and filter
- Air filter
I would do the cabin filter guide here but personally I wouldn't bother with the plug leads unless you have a problem with them.

Also do the other check like brakes, gearbox oil level, anti-freeze, battery level, wipers etc

Depending on age and whether it's ever been done you need to think about timing belt replacement - not an easy DIY task though

Air filter box

I've recently heard a rattling noise coming from my engine and when i've checked it out , it turns out my air filter box as broke away from its brackets.

I need a new one (can be used) but im having trouble finding the part. I ordered one from a breakers yard and what they thought was the right one for my car turns out not to be.

My car is a Fiat Grande Punto 2007 1.4 16v active sport.

If anyone knows where i can get one from please let me know.
