post no. 289366 had similar issues..,
sorry on mobile - so can't cut / paste

#348621 also MEP is the forums "duologic -person"

try locking / unlocking car , then restarting car..,

battery off for a few hours also worth a try - for free,

otherwise getting the fault codes read is next sensible option after fuses, etc..,

does the interior light come on when the drivers door opens..??:idea:

are you actually near Cardiff - as a person in the panda section uses MES to maintain his duologic panda..,

Tried the battery locking and unlocking door opening and closing door ten times still no joy noticed the pump wasn't coming on when opening door everything else working re interior light just says gear unavailable check transmission yet it was perfect with no issues an hour beforehand I did park on a hill something I never do would it be possible if there wasn't enough oil in there to cause this

Got the car back today luckily there was a problem with the wiring loom poor design area the guy rewired it and moved it to a more convenient area

pinched in door..??

From what he said it must be near the pump he said it was near some gard (panel) that im guessing is by the gearbox either the wires had been rubbing against it or there some heat couldn't take it in at the time just so relieved it was 350 sheets rather than the possibility of 1100 I was quoted the day before if the worst happened

£350 - GULP, and I was thinking you'd found a cheap 'n easy cure..,
