All of the above, had it less than a month last year and all warning lights were flashing on the ECU. I contacted the dealer who I purchased it from and he told me not to worry and it was safe to drive. My own fault being so naive. When it runs its lovely, we saved for 3 years to purchase and for the last 3 months its been in the garage.
Do we cut our losses?

" he told me not to worry and it was safe to drive. " that is where you went wrong . You never ignore warning lights and vehicle should have been returned to dealer for fixing . It's never good going to different garages , It's a pity you dont have a good garage you can trust and who are capable of correctly diagnosing and fixing the faults . All the faults you list are bad and can be expensive to fix , dependent on results of checking and scanning for fault codes .May end up being a money pit for you unless you can find a good mechanic / garage who can examine and estimate correctly what it will take to resolve the problems . Sorry cant really help much more .

Thank you for your reply. I realise I have been done over. It is at a diagnostics specialist on Tuesday.
I agree I shouldn't have been so silly to trust.
I will know more on Tuesday and will probably have to accept what I bought.
I did contact the seller but that was a waste of time and when I tried to submit a review to the company it wasn't allowed. I did research the company before I bought the vehicle and couldn't find a bad review.
At least no one is dead.
