I'm having a couple of problems with my Mark 1 Punto. Nothing too serious just yet but getting really irritating.
Firstly, I've been having trouble changing down into 1st gear. It just doesn't want to select and this has now started when changing down into 2nd. I've noticed that sometimes if I don't push the lever as far over to the left it seems to select easier. It's almost like it's going past the 'junction'. Any suggestions or is it terminal?
Secondly, when I got the car in July I noticed that it squeaked quite badly when turning corners. I took it to the garage a few weeks back because I could stand no more. They thought it might be the brakes, especially when they discovered I had no rear brakes at all! Obviously they sorted this out but the squeak is still there. I'm no mechanic but the impression I get is that it's something to do with the suspension and the noise is definately at the front.
