I have smashed the plastic guard off of my punto mk2 jtd, it is the one under the front bumper that covers the sump.

I need a new one as the old one is not repairable any ideas where i can get a new one? As scrappys all seem to bust them as they chuck one car on top of another!
 
it's definately worth replacing in one way or another as it pays a huge roll in protecting the cambelt and tensioner bearings

as many fiat techs will tell you cars without this cover suffer many bearing failures and get very dirty under the engine
 
Thanks guys :)

Was the 1.9 Diesel & HGT engines more at risk from damage from grit etc than the other engines, or was it just a case of the higher list price of cars with these engines which allowed Fiat to add the undertray as a kinda luxury?

erm well yes the big engines have allot more ancillaries low down in the engine bay and it also serves as sound deadening as the bigger petrols and diesels wil be allot louder than a 1.2 hence the under bonnet sound mat aswell

i got one for my 1.2 from a mk1 diesel it does make a diference
