Had a root around and I can't find anything similar to what I'm experiencing.
I have an '03 1.2 Active 16v, nearing 136k. Always had a few niggling problems with it and it's getting to the point where it's becoming dangerous. For example, a woman front ended me in a car park, not hard enough to cause any more damage than a crack in the bumper, but I had an airbag failure message flash up and to be honest I doubt they'd even deploy if I were ever to get in an accident. The axle bushes are gone (will be getting done in a week or so) and now we have started with this funny intermittent engine light.
The engine fault light flashes up for a second, the car remains running fine, no mechanincal components seem affected, however my power steering cuts out, I don't know if the speedo etc does because by the time I have looked down and noticed the light, looked back up to see where I'm going and looked back down to check, everything goes back to normal. it all happens in a couple of seconds, but I can be doing any speed, obviously its a shock going round a corner to all of a sudden have the steering fail and having to really yank the wheel hard.
No other lights come on, I'm stumped and getting frustrated with the thing.
Thanks in advance!!
