I've purchased myne less than 2 months ago from a garage..
Within a few days of purchase my orange engine light came on and 'anti pollution fault' flashed up on my display. Obviously this fault was already there when they sold it to me after readin some other peoples experience wtih the same thing. ! I took it back to the garage to be 'fixed'. When i collected the car a day later it seemed fine. The next day, it comes on again and it's been on since. Hoever i've now got another 2 faults occur. At the weekend i didnt drive my car but i forgot to lock it. I got in sunday morning and it wouldnt turn on at all. No lights came on nothing it was totally dead. NOTHING had been left on. Just unlocked. Had to use cables to get it started again. Another problem then occurred te following day where my steering sounded awful especially when driving slowly and turning. We had to quickly take it to a garage and they saidI had NO power steering fluid at all!! It must have leaked somehow? The final problem and worst so far, my 'stop' sign has been coming on for a few seconds then goinng off? My car has started chugging and my rev counter gets to abut 3000 then drops to below 1000 then moves back up again?? This happened once yesterday and again today so i stopped the car. I turned everything off, including radio, called my partner and asked whether i should walk home or try driving. He said walk but its a good half hour! so i went to turn the car on and yet again, the whole thing was dead!!! i had turned everything off the only thing was that it was unlocked! So i had to walk home!! Im so cross. I haven't even had this car 2 months! I must still have full rights to give the car back and get a full refund? maybe even an added payout for how much hassle and missed work for both me and my partner this stupid pile of crap has caused! I hate this car with a passsion!!!!!

Felt so sorry for you after reading your first post yesterday. Just seen your later posts mentioning the battery clamps. Fingers crossed that this will solve your problems, it's a great little car when it works! Let us know how you get on!
