hi all
i have recently purchased a 3 door 98 punto sx 60 and actually iv discovered a few minorish problems
1) passenger side door is very dodgy.i cant unlock/lock it from the ouside of the car with the key..however i can manually unlock/lock the car from the inside...sometimes it plays up...but when u have got it locked it decides to electronically pop back up and i have to do this several times b4 its locked.

Any suggestions welcome

2) Back seatbelt doesnt work u can clip it in and after a few seconds it unclasps .leaving me feeling a bit unsure as i have small children so i can actually ony carry 2 passengers in the back seeming as 1seatbelt is unsafe...any ideas on how to fix this problem?

3) Occasionally and its not everytime i start the car but maybe every 3 or 4 starts of the car the keycode light comes on on the dash, whats this for, as there is no radio to speak of at all in the car only a hole in the dash and some exposed copper wires..

i v only had this car 2 weeks and iv got to get tracking done, just had to do oil filter as it split alternator belt on its way out and any ideas on when the timing belt needs replacing im currently showing 89k on the clock, the car has not come with any manuals and also do Fiats come with ''common'' problems ...ty all :doh:
 
Generally cambelt every 5 years or 60k miles (but if it breaks the engine will simply stop, non-interference engine, so nothing else gets destroyed.)

"Code" relates to the immobiliser. Probably nothing more than a poor connection.

For the seatbelt, I'd be inclined to visit a scrappy. Best bet is that the latch has gone, so you only need one part.
