I am totally new to the newer fiats, though in the past I have had a Mirafiori, 126 and a punto Mk2 which were all great cars and I had no problems with them. (Well apart from the braking system on the Mirafiori which was a real nightmare.)
I have now just bought a 2002 Marea Weekend Auto on a 52 plate. It's the 1.6ELX and I am having real problems with the immobiliser.
The guy I bought the car from has changed the ECU, immobiliser and Ignition Barrel got the correct red key for the ignition due to a similar problem he had when he bought the car a year ago. The car ran fine for about a month then he left it sitting all winter with the result that the battery went flat.
When a new battery was put on the car the immobiliser light came on and the car will turn over but not start.
What I would like to know is how exactly can I reset the ECU and immobliser or does it sound like the car has another problem?
