New battery might clear the fault - ****note**** might clear the fault.
Odd though - never happened to me in any car I've owned but as I recall I'm sure others have suffered this with Stilos. Reminds me, I could do with changing my battery - it is the original one the car came with from new......

I changed my battery this week £85, I was getting spurious errors due to it not holding charge. Sounds like that's your issue too.
Most likely the battery. It's a classic on Stilos.

just use a flat head that fits?? it doesn't need to be over tight just pinched up.
An allen key (not sure what size) is also a good fit!
just come back from 12 days away myself and jtd 1.9 m/w fired to life ok ,though I did have one of those £10 solar trickle charge things plugged in as I do not do that many miles at the moment and tend to keep it connected when not using the car for a few days as they do not put out a high amp current.
We use one of these Solar things on the Panda thats SORN and its great at keeping the battery in a healthy state
