Infomation Needed on Fiat Punto Nuova

I just bought a 2nd hand Fiat Punto Nuova (2001 model) for my daughter last
week. The mileage is about 74,000km. The previous owner said that he had
changed the timing belt, spark plugs, the spark plug distribution coil and
the battery not long before he sold the car to me.

I'm not familiar with Fiat cars and would be grateful if any forum members
could help with the following information:

1. What parts need to be changed or serviced at 74,000 km?
2. What are the approximate cost for the parts?
3. Are there any cost saving OEM alternatives other than the original parts?
4. I'm staying in Butterworth. Can anyone recommend a workshop that is
familiar with Fiat cars in Butterworth?
5. Which spare part dealer can I buy the parts from?
6. I intend to change all the 4 shock absorbers. Any recommendation for a
value-for-money shocks?

Would appreciate any help from you guys. Thanks!

Fiat Punto Nouva.

By the way why not purchase some original parts from Torino during their
carnival in August 2008...some parts go as cheap as 70%...visit
