Hello,

My name is Grant. I have been driving for a year now, My first and only owned car is a 02 Punto go edition , it had 56 on the clock when i had it , it now has 73 . I also do change regally every 6k.

I plan to do it up and make her work properly so far i'v had a new gasket, new engine pump,new fuel pump,new starter motor, I had the leeds changed on her late last year, new exhaust , new hand brake cables on each side,as well as spark plugs. Im changing the plugs this week. I take it to a garage i well know.

so labour is pretty cheep just need to pay for the parts.And also i have put a 2nd wiper unit in because the last one kept latching off

I have no experience on how to work on car engines. :worship:

so can anyone tell me what other things i can do to try and make sure that there is no failure or brake downs

anyway I was driving my car this morning the power steering cut out ?? i turned the engine on and off it worked agin ??? , I also notised so rust growing ONLY on the bottom side of the driver's door :bang:

Another frustrating thing is a yellow light bulb comes on when ever i brake ? the brake lights do work !!! , so are the brakes wearing down ?? but i feel that they work fine ?:bang:

Anyone out there who can help me by giving me some tips and points in what way to go on trying to keep my fiat for a long time, as i want to do her up

and what are the common faults on these

Not sure what the yellow bulb is on a Mk2, but if it's a general brake warning switch, check the brake fluid level as a matter of some urgency. Some cars -- dunno about later Puntos -- have a brake pad wear sensor, too, which might account for the light.

As with all things brakes, if there's a sign of an error, pop it into the garage, if you don't know what you're doing.
