m jet 1.3 problems

hello everyone had my 1.3 for about 7ish months now family version just over two thousand miles on clock! so far.Not long after buying this car abs failure came up on dash so sent it back in they checked it over and cleared fault code everything ok.Not so long after light came on dash again this time `ignition barrel was also playing up as well so car went back in! whole barrel for ignition was changed battery charged as they said it was slightly down fault codes cleared and then guess what? light came back on abs failure so i got on to the manager or principal as they call him and i told him my problems with this car and i told him i was not very pleased with this car the car has never let me down but i also dont want to be back and forth to the dealers all the time!this guy was brilliant his name is mick hargreaves the dealer piccadilly wakefield he listened to what i told him next day he sent a bloke to pick car up and left me a courtesy car they changed ebd module cleared codes once again and brought car back to me that was about 3 weeks ago got in car this morning and abs failure came up on dash not only that but my fan comes on when car is cold and doesnt shut off till i turn car off this mornin i went from flat cold 400 yards and the fan pulled in so it looks like car going in again i am certainly not happy with this car and will be pushing for my money back or a new exchange would i buy another erm no this car cost me nearly thirteen grand and i am well pissed off anybody any ideas how i stand for gettin my money back or exchange any comments welcome

ohh dear....

you've only a couple of grand on the clock and this ... you must have friday afternoon car... had a vauxhall astra like that anything that could have gone wrong did, in the end they swapped it... for a new one... mind you it was a company car so a bit more "clought" with the dealer...

I would advise you to remove any slight changes to the car ie the alloys.... they will pick on these whether it matters or not...

I personally have had a few niggles / live with the fiat way... on the 1.3 with a 05 plate but not anything to do with EM .. we've done now some 26,000 mostly on long runs.....

I know it may seem a silly question but do you tow anything regularly?

if you took out independant finance on the car or paid for it on a credit card you may have a little more leverage with assistance of the finance company as they in effect own the car as well.......

best of luck on a refund/swap i'd go for a 1.9jtd....

Take it back its under warranty or try another dealer.If no luck then request a field engineer visit.Whats a ebd module?

I just tried reading this out loud and ran out of air about half way down

A EBD is electronic braking distributer!

Thankyou Niall really helped!!! in future when ive a problem with motor i,ll go see a teacher!!!

Just to update contacted principal.Told him situation and this morning they are bringing a laptop.Hopefully they will find problem once they have plugged it in.Well we,ll see!

My pleasure.....

No such thing as a EBD module......its ABS module(EBD is software prog inside),sounds to me you have a intermittent power failure/earth problem assuming its not the obvious sensor/switch fault.
Why the ignition barrel was changed I can only wonder!
