I think I should rename this thread.
"What went wrong today"
Following the suspension re-rebuild my Punto has developed a really rather annoying knocking sound whenever I hit a bump (that there are a million of on the pothole infested punch line we begrudgingly call roads in this country). I pulled over and had a good look round. Checking the wheel bolts first, shacking, pulling, prodding and probing around until I stood up, clipped the passenger side fog light and...
"Thud"
...the lower mounts are broken and the fog light is bouncing about.
Solved with duct-tape and back on my journey to work.
As soon as I went into town I noticed the oil pressure was below 2.9 for the first time since I have owned the car. I let the engine cool a bit and checked to see the oil wasn't touching the dip stick.
Coaxed the car to the petrol station this morning after work, filled the engine and drove home as spiritedly as usual.
