I'm not a mechanic, however I'd like to know to whether I could use a Haynes Manual for a Fiat Punto ( http://www.haynes.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/... ) to carry out an oil change and also maybe do the brakes on a Fiat Panda 03 onwards?

since I figure they use the same 1.2 petrol engine.

in all fairness, for that kind of stuff, you could probably use any haynes manual!

A lot of manufacturers do stick with similar stuff, so the brakes for example will most likely be exactly the same in terms of what you do, and the same with the oil and filters.

once you get a rough idea of what to do, you'll realise there isn't many differences between a Punto and a Porsche
