Hi there,
I'm just new to the forum and was would be very grateful if anyone could give me some advice please. I only bought the car last week, (it was a private sale) its an 04 K12 1.2 SX model, anyway just hours after i'd bought it i was having trouble starting it up, it's the NATS keyless entry type, so at first i thought perhaps i wasn't doing something quite right, once it was up and running it was fine, but kept having the problem of once i turned the engine off it wouldn't start up again, (which was pretty embarassing when i went to the garage to put petrol in and couldn't start it up again so was sat at the petrol pump trying to start it u for a bit, got a bump start eventually and took it home)
My brother tried giving it a good blast down some 60/70 roads to see if the battery had just gone a bit flat, i thought maybe the car had been stood for a little bit (since the owner already had a new car when i bought this one) when it hit around 65mph the engine light came on and it was as if the car was loosing power and juddering, then when the speed dropped it stopped doing it and the engine light went off. Anyway i replaced the battery and the car was starting up fine so i thought that must've solved the problem, everything was ok for a few days then yesterday and today it started doing the juddering thing again, and now the engine light is back on, also it seems to be guzzling the petrol far too quickly, and the boot randomly unlocks sometimes, Any ideas what it could be? It's getting me down now, i bought this car to reduce running, tax, insurance costs etc and have had nothing but trouble so far :0( Thanks very much in advance, any advice you have to offer would be much appreciated.
