I got in to my 07 1.9 Grande Punto today, and the headlights wouldn't turn on. After a few minutes they came to life but everytime i indicated, the headlights turned off.

Has anyone experienced, lighting issues.

Thanks in advanced

Everytime you indicated, the whole and both headlights switched off?

Both headlights turned off. They came back to life by flashing the full beams.

I had this problem I had to get a new light and indicator stalk. 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.

Thanks woodstien! My warranty is a distant memory. Looks like an ebay job. The punto has been a good car, 108k on the clock. Still going strong (as long as it's not dark!)

Good luck with the repair. How hard can it be haha. I agree I've not really had problems with mine other than what your experiencing. Been a brilliant car.

It's only 25k a year, not too bad for a derv.

I saw an 06 plate astra vxr on ebay recently that had 220k motorway miles :O

Surprised the **** gearbox lasted that long.

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.

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)
