ive got a fiat punto 1997.
it started juddering as i was go along the road and then it just cut out and now wont start at all! i been told its not the battery as thats ticking over and its got plenty of fuel.
im thinking it could be the oil, as the oil light has been coming on a few time in last couple of weeks and i have never put any in the car since ive had it which was july 2008 (i am female!)
could be the oil?
or any other suggestions tat i could be would be helpful please?

Let's not genderize problems with automotives.

You state you got this car in July so should be going on a third oil change service and have stared at a warning light that suggests oil and need to ask!

First thing - check the engine oil level and get this car in for routine maintenance before (if not too late now) it costs you an engine or repair that exceeds the value of the whole car.

READ THE OWNER'S/OPERATORS MANUAL if you don't understand what warning lights mean what AND for maintenance intervals,

I've been working on cars nearly 40 yrs. I may be 'anal', but every new car I buy, I read the owner's manual cover to cover.

mike_sch - Let's find out if there's any oil in this engine first - ok?
