So yeah, I had my first car a few months now and I only passed my test in April and I have run in to endless problems with my MK1 Punto so far..
- Head Gasket blew had to be sent off and skimmed.
- Timing Belt needed changing
Those are fixed and these are the current problems
- Sometimes the car makes a really loud screeching/yelling sound when it starts and it wont start unless the car is rocked (my dad said it sounds like starter motor, he is a mechanic, will be fixing it for me)
- The fan needs replacing
- The Dash warning lights seem to be useless
- Engine temp light seems to come on after being idle for 5 mins at a very cold night yet it doesnt come on for a while being idle on a very very hot day.
Other than them, I love the car. Anyone got any suggestions or reccomended places to styling parts?
Here is a pic of the car now, I had alloy wheels put on the other day
