I have a 1.2 8 valve Punto Active Sport that has central locking but no
remote.
I have been told that there is an upgrade kit.
Can anyone tell me where I can get one / how much and can you fit it
yourself?

The upgrade kit simply replaces the central locking relay and is an easy
self install.  Can't recall the price exactly but somewheree around ?70 -
?90 seems about right.

Thanks Andy,
Now got one from a fiat dealer for ?67.
It's not a simple relay replace though.
It's a module that replaces one of the plugs in the fuse box and the plug
then plugs into it.
There are then 3 wires to connect, but the fuse box has to be removed to get
at them.
I am going to fit it this afternoon, so, I will post how it went.

Correct, I confused it wioth the Bravo / Brava kit which is involves
replacing a relay behind the glovebox with a remote locking relay complete
with short antenna.

Good luck with fitting the kit.

Well, I did fit it the afternoon I said.
It took a little over an hour to fit and works perfectly.
Taking out the fuse box is a fiddly job and is made easier if all the plugs
and relays etc. are removed first.
Don't worry about this, as you can't refit incorrectly fortunately.
In order to identify which wires to connect the unit to, you have to undo
the plugs or, you can use the following:

Wire on Remote Unit        Plug on Fuse Unit        Wire Tag/Colour on Plug
  Orange                           Green/Purple                 11/Blue
  Light Blue                       Blue/Red
34/Red-Yellow
  Black                              Forgot to record it        20/No wire,
it inserts into plug

The fourth wire is the aerial and is just tucked up along the dashboard.
Good luck.
Dave
