Sister has a 2000 W reg Punto(1.2 8v) that is behaving strangely from cold and at low speeds.

It has steadily got worse that she says it's dangerous cos it doesn't move well from roundabouts, junctions etc.

I've suggested that she take it to an independant but she hasn't yet had the chance to take it in.

Anybody have any experience with this. Car/fault combo?

Any help most appreciated!!

Thanks,
Andy

The same thing happened to my dads 03 punto.
We changed the spark plugs ( £10 ) last week and it drives as good as new.
Have you had it serviced recently?

Ok, thanks. Will get some for the weekend and see what they look like once I take the old ones out.

Nice one!
