    Talking Its had a good wash & clean - whatcha think now?!

    Hi Guys

    Well at least today summer decided to join most of us. I have made a start, the punto has had a good clean I need to do the interior tomorrow but that wont take long. Been up to our local 'hill' and thought as the sun was setting it would make a good backdrop so i have snapped a few pics

    I have a few questions but I shall ask them at the bottom, anyways -

    Let me know what you all think:


























    ....its not come up too badly.

    What i would like to know is A) how do you remove the badges such as the fiat and punto_s???? B) Are there any good internet sites where you can pick up good priced parts eg.. clear indicators, fog lights etc...??

    Thanks

    Nik

    Which, the rear? Yes it does, stupid thing. I am hoping its just that the motor has gone. I will replace it but its not urgent just yet. I am guessing its a common problem then?!

    Yeah quite common. Just fit a new motor then you'll be OK.

    Thought as much, will get that done. I must admit there are a few issues i need to get sorted such as the cambelt cover and also I have noticed the tube which connects to my oil has split slightly and is leaking a very small amount of oil, that needs changing - Theres nothing major which is wrong with it, just needs to TLC!

    That's all they tend to need. A bit of TLC and she'll be lovely.

    Ebay is your friend for the parts you need.

    The rear badges are clipped on, so will leave holes. The badges on the wings are just stuck on so use a hair dryer to get them off.
