Yeah, completely out of the blue! One minute everything's fine, the next it's like the car's possessed. What exactly was up with yours?

Mine was doing the same thing. Different errors, but definitely electrical gremlins. I took it straight to a workshop; they said it needed a software refresh on the control module. Best to get it checked!

I appreciate the advice. I'll book it in. Turns out the control unit programming was implausible and they had to reprogram it. Cost me 240€ but at least it's fixed!

Whoa, sounds rough! I've got a Panda too, and I had something similar happen last year. Was it just totally random?
