Hi
I came across this forum when trying to discover a few things about my new Panda.
I bought the above car about 3 weeks ago, for the first week all was fine, then sudenly it refused to start. I contacted the dealer who begrudginly took the car back to check it. In the end it had to go to a main dealer for a diagnostic test and repair.
I picked up the car yesterday and found that every time I start the engine the digital clock resets to Zero?? Would this indicate there is an electrical fault?
Whilst I was driving the warning light relating to the imobilisor came on and stayed on till the car was restarted.
Other niggles include - when front windscreen wipers turned on, the back one also come on (for a short time)-is this normal??
I was informed there was an alarm fitted as standard. Is this the case? As it not working or not present
Finally after looking at your forum I found the information about the recall due to possible Engine power loss - Mine is one of the vehicles!
The dealer is refusing to give me a refund, but I have lost all confidednce in the car. Any ideas where I stand?
Sorry for the long post, all help greatly appreciated.
