Now that we have the minibus it was time to take our Fiat Punto for an overhaul. It has 150,000 KM on the clock and the engine is kind of covered in oil and the water from the radiator keeps boiling out into the engine bay, so I figured it was time for a mechanic to have a look.

Finding a good mechanic is alway a hard thing but I have found one (after 5 years of being here) but he lives about an hours drive from here. So the wife and I set off this morning with both Fiat and minibus and went to the mechanic. I want him to strip the whole engine down to the block and overhaul the engine. He reckons it will be done in about 10 days…
