Hi,
We picked up my wife's new panda pop 1.2 on Saturday just over a week ago. When we took it for a quick drive in the evening the orange engine warning light came on and we drove it back to the dealer who said he would book it in on the monday to be checked. When we went back out in the car later, it had gone off again, and when the dealer phoned on the Monday, we agreed that we would wait and see if it came back on.
Exactly a week later (last saturday) it came on again, and the car is now booked to be checked on Friday but was after other peoples opinions about:
1) The engine light came on the second time exactly a week after the 1st time (almost to the minute) is this just likely to be coincidence?
2) we were planning on taking the car up to see my parents on boxing day. We have a bad experience of this, as on Christmas day last year out car broke down on the M42 (needed new engine and turbo). Would you risk taking it? - our only other car is electric and would make it but only without the heater on.
Thanks
