Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: (0) | Re: Engine fault/Security fault Scary, you'd think when you take the key out the ignition the imolibiser if anything would kill the engine! Afterall its supposed to stop the car being able to be started! It should cut battery! Sounds well worrying!

| Re: Engine fault/Security fault I have taken it into the garage where i had it from today and as far as they know its the fuse box which they have ordered. Hopefully this will sort it as they have gave me a 54 plate 1.2 punto which feels down hill from the stilo

| Re: Engine fault/Security fault Wow man that was scary.. Hope its nothing important.. I also have a problem, although i dont know if it is a problem..When i press the clutch it some times holds the engine still at 2000rpm for 7-8seconds.. Does anyone know what is the problem or is that a problem?

Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: (0) | Re: Engine fault/Security fault Well obviously the car isn't safe to drive, in the event of any kind of incident, or even just going for petrol, you can't turn the engine off without having to forcefully stall the car. Imagine you emergency stop to avoid hitting a kid, then stalling the car and jumping right over them just to stop the engine! I'd go mental at the garage, citing its un-safeness for driving and get them told. I wouldn't be surprised if its really easy to fix. Try turning up at the garage with the car just before 8am and asking if they can squeeze you in and check it on the diagnostic equipment. It will only take them 5 minutes, and they might even be able to fix it there and then.

| Re: Engine fault/Security fault *update* Car went in on 22nd Jan Still no luck only thing they told be is that needs a new ECU cos they checked it Prob is that they cant get 1 even from Italy so at the mo its sat in the forcourt look pitiful for itself and me running round in a bog standard MK3 punto which feels rubbish (No offence to anyone who has 1 but this does feel crap) I have a full ICE system ready to drop in and cant do anything till they get it sorted so im kinda pissed
