Just a quick heads up to you guys if this ever happens. I started my car as normal no bother and drove about 200 yards when the car pitched and the engine light came on so I pulled over where the car was idling no bother so I thought I’d switch it off to see if light would reset. Switched car off and when I went to switch on it was dead so much so that I had no dash lights no radio and no central locking. Phoned a friend who came and jumped car no bother and drove home but steering was twitching. Once home stopped car and tried to start but dead. Locked car manually with key and rang Abarth who got the car straight in (after jumping again). Turns out my battery had instantly died and they had not seen this before. One the battery test it read zero amps. New battery fitted and car back to new again mind battery was nearly 5 year old. Abarth said the steering twitching was due to load on car with battery being dead. £90 an hour they charge for a diagnostic but only charged me £45 and £65 for an new battery. Great service Abarth.
