Re: punto mk1- what problems at 60k miles?? please look!!

Mines a 55s, just had it serviced today, heres a list of probs:

The car is 55.5k

Rear right brake drum needs replacing,
Radiator is practically gone,
Engine leaks oil like hell.

Fixed:

Got a new rear right brake drum (£80)
Got the radiator sealed of leaks so its fine now.
Oil problem fixed too

Guy charged me £100 + 80 for the brake drum + 20 for installing it) 200 quid total for full servicing + fixing all probs.

let your sister run it into the ground. if she gave it to you it will only sit outside your house for two years before you can drive, and be wrecked by all the local yobs.
