    Anyone can throw light on this would be nice.

    Relation of mine has 06 Punto. Has been nothing but trouble. Countless trips back to main dealer. It cut out one night on the motorway. The whole car just died. Endless calls to AA to come out a jump start car.

    Battery has been replaced twice. Altenator replaced. CPU re-programmed. Front left wheel locks up now and again in driveway. (Car won't move)
    Passenger Door lock replaced. Passenger window mech. replaced.

    So any suggestions? I suggested a box of matches:p

    Keep getting it repaired by the dealer for as long as the warranty is valid, then when the warranty runs out, keep getting it repaired and paying for it.

    Or buy something else.

    This car was bought from new so there is a 4 year warranty on it. Looks like they'll be getting the full milage out of that:D

    as long as it's under warranty it's not so bad.

    I suppose if it's still under warranty it might be best to put up with it, especially if it shows any signs of improvement.

    That and buy a set of jump leads.
