Hi all,
new to the forum and looking for some advice...I have had my Fiat 500 just over 4 years and I love it. Never had any problems...until recently when coming up to a junction (slight incline), went into first gear ready to pull of and the 'Start stop unavailable' message popped up on screen briefly and the engine cut out? couldn't get the engine started again, it just turned over (after checking immobilizer etc). My father-in-law is a mechanic so he came and rescued me, replaced the spark plugs and all seemed okay...until a week later at the same junction it did exactly the same thing, showing the start stop message etc. I was able to restart it myself by shoving my foot on the accelerator! took back to my father-in-law's garage and it's saying 'uncoded error' on the diagnostic machine. He can't work out the problem, it done it again last (with me being able to restart again). Just don't know what to do, and my nearest Fiat dealership is over 40 miles away? It's a 0.8 turbo, 60 plate.
would much appreciate any help, I love my little car and really want to get it fixed rather than sell!
Thank you
