Afternoon all

The name is Ross, I'm from Scotland and I'm the proud owner of a beautiful white Grande Punto GP - Nicknamed Pippita :slayer:

Now I'm not sure if this is anything that can cause concern with my little lady but I seem to be finding the following issues:

• When pulling away from handbrake and total stop, there is a heavy rattling coming from the under-carriage for about 1 to 2 seconds and then stops, but this only happens if I'm using my engine to its full extent and pulling away at speed. So any information/advice would be appreciated
• There is an ungodly amount of rust on my exhaust pipe which is causing a horrible rattling noise when idled. Any recommendations for replacements?
• And finally, the previous owner has left a horrific key pinstripe up the passenger side door and it looks as though theyve attempted to rub down the surrounding area and re-touch it with a grout pen!:bang::bang::bang: Any more recommendations in terms of home fixes?

Many thanks guys

You don't say what engine you have but on my daughter's 1.2 the front exhaust bracket was rusted right through causing a nasty rattle. Had to cut the parts of it off and replaced with one I bought online for £2 - noise went away and exhaust system still OK 18 months later
