Someone managed to bring the 1.3 to a "startled and abrupt" halt yesterday and then phoned to say they coudnt get it restarted. It wasn't the fuel cut off or anything else we could immediately think of. Phoned the guys we work with a Fiat and they ummed and ahhed too then said - retry it again. It started OK
Weird, no idea what happened but the car refused to start for 8-10 mins, locked and unlocked etc without any joy. Didnt touch or change anything and then tried again and it started without an issue and has driven perfect ever since. Until our next one comes in a week or so we dont have an english manual.
So if your 500 has been brought to a quick halt and wont restart - dont panic, just stand back and admire it for a short while then retry it lol!
