Hi there,
I'm the proud owner of a Fiat Punto MK1, it's a P reg but it's developed a bit of a problem with the speedo.
Basically the speedo only works properly when I've got loads of petrol in, if it's below a quarter of a tank the speedo will sometimes not show the correct speed. It either gets stuck at 20mph or it will flip around going from 0mph right up to 120mph. The problem can be solved momentarilly by pressing the top of the plastic screen that protects the dials, but once released again the speedo will jump around again. This causes the milage to clock over with the speed the speedo shows too.
It's obviously not a massive problem as it doesn't do it all the time, I was just wondering if anyone's had any similar problems? How was it fixed? How much did it cost? Did you do it yourself?
Hopefully someone can help me out, if I've not explained it too well say and I'll have another crack at it. Cheers.
