As much as a i love my punto, its becoming too much of a pain. I have a sticking brake calliper, got a temp fix but needs replacing.
Theres a high pitched metallic type noise coming from the rear when driving along, worse and slower speeds (not sure what it is)
An awful rattle from engine when in low gears
Faulty rear lights, they light up like a christmas tree.
Hand brake barely works, need to do some work on rear drums.
Today driving to morrisons, about a 5 or 6 mile round trip, i used a quarter tank of fuel!
Tried to start it to come home, it really struggled and when it did start it kept trying to stall. On the way home the temp dial was all over the place (up to half back down to quarter, up to over half, back down to half etc)
Got home and turned engine off, and heard a really quiet gurgle. Sort of like *gulp . . .gulp . . . gulp*
Had a quick look in engine, and oil level has risen from half way, to max.
I guess i know what this means i have spent so much money on fixing my punto over these last few months and i simply do not have the funds to carry on . . . i think its time to sell it for spares or repair. Shame, i really love my punto.
