Hello not a good new start

[hi-fi]

Have just bought a Panda 1.3 multijet (on 7th August). On way to take kids to Wookey Hole yesterday car decided to lock out the engine management system and rolled to a stop, AA unable to sort problem so towed me and family to my local Fiat garage. Kids day out consisted of sitting in RSPVB car park watching the bird watchers disappear into the drizzle.Car has done 425miles in total and now having a short break at the garage.
Bit disappointing as my 1st ever car was a 127 which I loved and gave me no problems until it died. Third car was a 132 which was fine until it died on route to Bristol.Both had been bought 2nd hand.

I had a similar experience where I had to leave the car behind - https://www.fiatforum.com/grande-pu...-5-hour-ordeal-two-month-old-gp-dualogic.html
