Fiat Punto's - Talk to me!

Looking at a Fiat Punto 1.3 Auto for the wife, any specific horrors to look for?

Its either a 2005 or 2006 year car!

Cheers!

If it's the last of the pre Grande Punto cars check the electronic power steering works, make sure the airbag light isn't on - can be the Airbag ECU not just a sensor. Engines are fine, make sure the box works how it should.

Yup it's the last of the "old" punto's!!

Cheers for the advise, much appreciated!

Look for signs of damp in the passenger footwell - common fault on Puntos. I think it is caused by a badly replaced pollen filter but I could be wrong.

Cheers, will go poking under the carpet there'd too!
