Frank > email: frank_sernee@wilgeenbagger-hotmail.com My old Punto (one of the original ones) needed a new head gasket after 110,000 miles but I can't be too upset with that. What I was upset with was that I had to have a new oil sump fitted after 120,000 miles because it had corroded (how can something that swims in oil corrode?)
