Every time I turned the lights on nothing then they came on after a few seconds of waiting. And indicating they dip off and on. Fiat sorted it under warranty in my case.  weemanjase thanked for this post

Posts: 1,945 Thanks: 100 Trader Rating: 0 | Re: Grande Punto headlight problem think how much fuel a vxr would have drunk in that time! If it gave 30mpg that would be 33366 litres or over £44k pounds worth at todays prices.

Posts: 964 Thanks: 31 Trader Rating: 0 | Re: Grande Punto headlight problem It would have probably been a sales car, 40p miles for first 10k, then less after, think its about 12p? work that out, should pay for the car.... 50k @ 40p a mile (over the 5 years?) and 170k @ 25p a mile, 5p carrying passengers as well lol. 50k = £20,000 and 170k = £42,500 unless I have my maths completely wrong, which is a possibility.... (50,000*0.4 and 170,000*0.25)
