I was very unlucky when i bought my fiat punto. 80 miles down the road and the engine has seized. I cant afford for a garage to fix it or put a new engine in etc but i need a haynes manual so i can get a family member who is pretty good with mechanics to have a look at it.

i found a previous thread dated a few months back about someelse looking for a haynes manual and followed the link he was given to download it for free only the website it takes you to is a foreign one so i cant understand it and i cant see a link or button on the page to download it anyway.

Anyone know where i can download one for free before i have to buy one?

it would be for a 1,7 td R reg 1997.

thanks, Angie
 
Ive looked on ebay, but i need one for friday night at the latest. If i cant get one then ill have no choice but to buy one from a shop.
I havnt really got the money to play with tho, especially if i gotta buy a new engine too. believe it or not, this is the second car that has damaged engine in 2 weeks and buying the punto ate all my savings. I can only afford the engine as the bloke i bought the car off is giving me a small refund which will only just cover the cost of a second hand engine which is prooving very very difficult to find.
 
well dont bid on the same ones as me cos im looking for one this very second too :p for all this trouble with the igniton, and for future reference anyway.

vice versa...you cant miss me, similar user name lol

infact, if you find me, you will even see the nice punto i bought just this time last week that turned out be a very expensive 80 mile trip. I could've hired a limo for that and still had money spare....

nah i wont be able to spot you, ebay doesnt let you see who is bidding/won anymore. i missed getting one about 3 hours ago though, i put a fiver on one, the seller would give free postage if it was over 4.50, someone came in and put it to £5.01 and it won at that cos i forgot to check it.
