Hi,

I just brought a punti mk2 for my girlfriend 52 plate 86k on the clock. I just have a few issues/problems

I paid £700 for it not sure if that is good or bad ?

The gear nob is brokken not sure if superglue would keep it fixed on any other suggestions.

I will be doing an oil change on the weekend and changing the air filter, there is a sound of water when the car is moving until it has warmed up, I think a coolant change may cure it, do I need to bleed it as well or can I just drain and refil the coolant? There is a warning light for the drivers side any ideas on how to fix this? Both the doors are noisy when openin, I am intending on selling it in a few months and will be buying a newer one.


How realible are they???

Cheers
 
as the bomb says
door light on dash is usually faulty boot switch
open but close catch with ignition on see if light goes out on dash
doors need new check straps to stop the clacking as its wear in the clevis pin thats non changeable
 
My Punto at this millage needed steering motor change (quite known problem for Puntos) but it was driven on city roads a lot. Of course on city roads there are much more turns than on open road so steering motor works harder.
At your mileage the car needs cam belt change and in "worst cases" soon also head gasket replacement.
Other than that it's just changing bits here and there and small services - oil change, filters etc.
