Before Christmas I bought another Punto Cabrio (in Pink lol) as it had a brand new roof on it. It was cheaper to buy the car than a new roof. I have since changed them over.
The problem that it had when I bought it is that it keeps cutting out after a while when it gets warm. I presume this is the crank sensor that needs replacing. Although, it did drive 37 miles home at around 40mph without cutting out once. I dont know whether it would be worth fixing it. My local garage who specialises in fiats has offered me £100 for the whole car. He wants the ecu and gearbox out of it. The ecu in it has been decoded i believe as the keys have no transponders in them - they are just metal type that you get in timpson, and it has an after market immobiliser. Am i right in thinking that an ECU that has been decoded and a gearbox is worth more than what i am being offered? Personally I wouldnt mind if someone offered me some more money and took the whole thing away lol. It has been lowered and has a loud back box - so if anyone is interested sent a message my way lol. Would it be worth fixing and MOTing to sell, or just sell it as it is?
