I bought a red Fiat Punto X reg (2001) a few weeks ago. I've got a few issues i'd like advice on how to sort out quickly (and cheaply if possible).
*Rear left side of the car makes a slight clanging noise, i'm told my suspension has "gone" is there a way of checking this, if it has gone, is it expensive to fix...
*The car cuts out in the cold and feels like a force is pulling against it when i'm driving in low gear (i think this may be spark plugs but any other suggestions welcome...)
*My stereo doesn't turn off when i turn my car off, do i need it somehow wired to the ignition switch, will this help or is this likely to cause damage?
*There are numerous scratches (from careless muppets who can't put the key in the hole properly) around the boot and also drivers door. Whats my best option on sorting this, it's quite badly scratched the paintwork...
*My fan heater doesnt blow out hot air (but a light appeared briefly on the dash which was red and looked like waved lines with a long stick out of the top of them. I didnt get a proper look as it went off, i can only imagine something needs refilling but any idea's what??)
Before someone says it, I have called the guy i bought it from, who didn't address any of these issues before purchase, surprise surprise he's not being very helpful... But it is a nice little punto so i do want to smarten it up!!
Any help would be greeeatly appreciated!!!
