Ok so i bought an R reg punto last june/july, and so far the clutch has gone, one of the bearings has gone, it failed its MOT had a new shock absorber fitted, and the exhaust fell off!! And now after spending near to £1000 (probably, i've lost count) it keeps cutting out!!
I took it to a garage that did my bearing for me and they seemed pretty good, they had a look and said it could be the filters, and one of the spark plugs isnt firing. So i had them changed for another £50 and its worse than ever now!!
It only happens when i press the clutch and have no revs, I.e when braking and changing down gear or when sat idle in traffic. If i leave it out of gear when im stopped it seems to run ok and it only ever does it in the 1st 15 mins or so of driving, then it seems ok.
Anyone got any idea why its doing this, what it could be? how much it will cost? and whether its even worth keeping the car seeing as everytime i pay to fix it something else breaks? :bang:
HELP ME PLEASE!!
Might just buy a bike actually!!
