Ok so I have a mk1 1999 1.2 8v.
First thing my hand brake light won't stay off. It will sometimes go out then just POP back on again. Any ideas how to solve?
Also I'm looking for an induction kit that doesn't cost too much can anyone give me some ideas.
Also how hard is it to replace the seals round the doors as both my rear doors are leaking and my passengers are getting annoyed with being dripped on.

Thanks Ian.

Inductions - GSR i THINk do one, Cant remember if the Ford Focus kit works or not

The Handbrake Light - Most Likely a broken switch - Is the handbrake Fully Down?
But also check the Fluid Level in the reserve - as that sometimes activates the light as fluid level is low

Scroll down a few threads to where the Focus induction kit was covered. First though get the leaks & servicing sorted.

Silicone grease can stop the door seals leaking but if its not good enough you'll need new seals

Cheers guys i'll give all that a go tomorrow if I have the time. No I don't have a sun roof but I did have a leaky roof where the owner before hadn't put the aerial back on properly that was bloody annoying.
Any idea how much new seals would cost roughly? And is it an easy job?
Also does anyone know any where that does rosso ribe paint in spray can as I can't seem to find it anywhere and I've got a panel that needs a respray.

Thanks ian.
 
I had this problem when i first had my punto when your driving does the handbrake lift slightly like its spring loaded? and when you apply the handbrake is it real heavy to lift it all the way up and when it does it doesnt raise too far? if so it just needs adjusting my mechanic did it when i put it for a look over not long after i bought it didnt even add it on the bill which was only a gearbox oil top up and adjustment of my pedals since im heavy footed and the pedals were too light for me :L
 
Cheers for the help guys turns out the brake fluid was slightly low. All sorted now.
Thanks ian.
