Does the noise differ if you dip the clutch
Or on use of the brakes..
Or on use of the brakes..
Or in different gear/gears?
Jack the car up 1 corner at a time and spin the wheel.
Also have a look round the ball joint so I've noticed there's a cheap nasty flimsys peice of tin that guards the ball joint' make sure that's not catching on the disc bend it back remove it if its catching.
You may have done the above already' so ignore. If so.

Check there's oil/ or enough of it in the gear box.
Ive just looked on youtube i dont think its that because its constant noise at 30-40mph and when u slow down below that it goes i had a mechanic look at the types and he said that the bearing and every thin are fine im really at a loss
It couid be a bad tyre.
Swap wheels over front to back.. and see what happens
Or put the spare wheel on the side you think the noise is coming from.
Might save afew .. quid if its not a iffy tyre that way
Check the gearbox oil level. A search will find how to (or do the thing Puntistas never do, and buy the manual).
haynes manual? its an absolute god send when you own a punto
but that goes for other cars too, although i rarely use it as i know most things top of my head, worked on too many puntos in the past years:devil:
How dare you...?! I bought an owner's handbook and a Haynes for mine within days of taking ownership...!

thats pure dedication right there
i only brought mine this year, but i've had my punto for year an half now, done many repairs and never needed it! but i thought ah what the heck £20 of my of my squidies on one will go a long way
Are you sure.all the wheel bearings have been checked.
Front and back. - noise travels so you may think its the front but it coui d be coming from the rear or vice versa.
You say-your mechanic has checked this and that. But check again for your self
Takes 5 mins a side jack it up and spin each wheel,
Listen for any rubbing noises or grating.
