i have had my 1.2 5dr GP at the dealers looking at an issue with headlights staying on and then the horn staying on. the result was that the cables (very small that they are) to the ecu had corroded/ rusted/ whatever and so the connection was poor.
The result is that it has been reconnected and made good as can be, but they cant guarantee that it will last. next time i may need a new ecu and cables.
doesnt fill me with confidence, car only 4 years old, shouldnt start rusting at this age, not around electrical bits and bobs. i dont know about these things but would have thought there would be some sealed units and some not.
annoying becuase the dealer isnt very near, the car not old, obviously out of warranty but that the way it goes, but that it could just do it again, at any point.
