2000 Fiat Punto LX review from UK and Ireland
"The car is economical to buy and to run"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I accidentally let the battery go flat over Christmas by leaving the radio on. I used the wrong procedure to try to start it by connecting it to another car with its engine running. I should have just used the other car's battery. Anyway now I have the small indicator light for the ignition system flashing continuously. I think this is indicating that the catalytic converter is temporarily out of use. Does anyone know how to fix this without going to a garage?
General comments?
The car is a good urban run-about.
I don't like the restricted view to the right because of the angle of the roof support. This is most annoying on roundabouts. My previous car had a more upright support.
