Time has come for my punto to go, i am sick of it now,
which scrap yard is paying the most

You mad?
Money you've spent on this!
What's wrong with it mate?

I put a brand new lower arm on near/side £40
5 months later the rubber is split, so that is now 2 new lower arms i need, and no doubt they will be split again within a few months.
went to replace off/side drive shaft again, and i can not get the end of it out of the gear box.
I have off/side lower arm off now and the drive shaft out but the gear box end is stuck in.
Its costing me a fortune, if i carry on, i would of replaced every part of this car with brand new parts.
If the lower arm rubbers keep spliting at this rate it will be £80 every few months, I dread adding up what this car has cost me upto now.
Its pushed me to advertise my laptop for sale.

the lower arm's brand new

they should be a warranty claim

It was bought from borough salvage on borough rd, I have lost receipt.

Secondhand parts not worth it, prob same price for new lower arms, only ickle on puntos, as for driveshaft pop it down to me I'll get it out for free

the drive shaft was brand new not second hand.
Chris I carnt get car to you the off side lower arm is off and no drive shaft on off side. and its on axle stands.
thanks for the offer tho.

Driveshafts can be troublesome to get out, although I've never had one stuck in the gearbox. Just use a drift and a hammer to remove it.

Motorfactor wishbones/bushes will never be as good as genuine ones, the rubber is really poor quality.

will try tomorrow morning to get it out gearbox, with a fookin big hammer lol as kimpri1 suggested.
Then its on to smelly public transport to get 2 new lower arms, then thats it then, no more money is getting spent on this car.

willo if you want ill go grab the parts you need just ask free all day tomorrow

thanks, i will let you know.

Just keep at it Willo, it's easy to think it's got something against you (it's just a piece of metal).

no probs hate seeing people struggle

Just finished it now, what a pain changing lower arms. Next time i will take it to a garage.
