Hello everyone 
Sadly my punto has done it to me again " another problem ", 3 weeks back I was on the motorway when the car got over heated & on the dash told me to switch the car off as soon as which I was lucky was only 1 mile away from the service station anyway I looked at my water it was empty, left the car to cool down for around 20-30 mins so I put water in " big mistake " car was still hot persure built up & burst 1 pipe anyway got that fixed ...
When the mechanic fixed it I told him to see if my head gasket had gone he stated the head gasket looked fine he let the car run for like an hour looks fine but of course the punto been a punto they was another problem he told me the water pump had gone, he fixed the water pump and changed timing belt. The car was running lovely I did a journey on the motorway round 80 miles never over heated once then I didn't start the car for a day & I tried to start the car in the morning the car wouldn't come on so I had a mechanic come take a look, he said the spark plugs where wet so he dried them the car was fine for 3 days then same problem car won't start so I know it's something to put with the spark plugs been wet but how is this happening ?? It's never ever had this problem before only after the mechanic changed the water pump and timing belt
Would be grateful on some advise
Thank you
