Also check for weird electrical malfunctions in the tailgate - the wiring loom (top left corner of the tailgate recess as you look into the car from the back) can fracture. I had to solder all of the wires AND repair the washer fluid tube on Wifey's Punto
This is interesting Nigel, the number plate light is out on mine. The only other thing is the front brakes squeal. I am taking it for a free brake check on Tuesday. It has a 3 month guarantee so hopefully I will find any problems by then.
I absolutely love the car. It's really quick, and very practical for my doggies. It's also beautiful, in blue metallic with shiny alloy wheels. It has helped me to feel less sad about parting with my Coupe.
