I'm new here, so Greetings.
My '98 MkI Punto has just failed its MOT grand style. Over £1,500 to put it right, or £295 trade in value. So I've got a bog standard 3dr 02 MkII 1.2 to tide me over while I find something better, probably a new Citroën C4 diesel.
The MkII is such a let down, probably because its engine seems powerless after 8 years with the twin cam 16v, even after 120K miles.
MOT Refusal Certificate listed:
Also:
Leaking water pump.
Radiator fan defective.
Otherwise the car's fine!
