[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 835895, member: 323322"] Well I've just had another failure .................... same Coil Spring position (Front Offside) but on our other Punto Grande. I suspect it broke at the end of March last year, a couple of weeks after it's MoT (Proving that an MoT is completely meaningless apart from the moment it is issued!) as there was a sudden loud clunk whilst driving back from a week's holiday. and a few miles later on a noise consistent with a chunk of metal falling onto the road. I suspect the bottom part of the coil parted and the broken-off bit sat for a while in the cup before finally being dislodged. Since then, although it has driven well, there has been a thunk noise whilst steering at almost stationary speeds. Took it for MoT yesterday and they confirmed it was bust, so that's booked in for repair tomorrow. My Garage blames the Chinese. [/QUOTE]
