So, after getting a job in London (with the Train commuting) I thought what an ideal way of keeping maintence costs down - I'm not using her.
I have in fact used her once, if not twice, since Christmas, until Saturday, when the battery packed up.
I got the man from Greenflag out, who after a surge of power got her started. I then went off on my merry way.
Unfortunately my dashboard lighting decided to do its "FIAT thing" and flash a message, hence my post...
When you put in the key and start her up it says "Engine Fault...." and the (what I assume is engine management) engine light comes up! I rang Fiat up Saturday and they mentioned that the car does not charge the battery and I have to charge it up - do I really? I thought alternators did the charging?
Well, if it does not work, I will have to take her in for a trip on the Fiat 'expert' computer - one of those £30 jobbys - so any ideas?
