Hi - I took delivery of my new Punto Evo Sporting last week. It's been great fun to drive but have noticed something about the steering...
Basically as I reverse out of my parking space, I also have to turn the car sharply round to my left almost under full steering lock. Sometimes as I approach full lock I can hear a slight clunking noise from under the car that sounds like I am driving over a loose drain cover. Except I'm not! It doesn't always do it, but normally happens when the car is cold and I'm starting off.
It's booked in for Monday to have it checked over but has anyone any suggestions what it could be? Is it normal?
By the way although I didn't have the problem everyone else had with the coin tray next to the steering wheel falling out (although each Evo I looked at in a showroom did), I did have the jammed popup lid next to the satnav socket. The garage had already spotted it in the PDI and had a new part on order, so that was fitted last Thursday.
