EPC is lambda sensior fault isnt it??

although i have heard thats PEC stands for electronic pedal control which could be an electrical fault??

best bet is take it somewhere that has diagnostics reader which should tell you the fault

am not sure just the fact i can't drive it anywhere, also when I'm starting the car it sounds like a flat battery however the battery has got full charge and working then the next thing i know is the EPC light and emissions light is on and car driving in safe mode

Try unplugging the throttle body and if it has a exhaust gas recirculator try unplugging that (with the engine off). Leave it for 5 mins (or over night, whatever you please) and then plug them back in.

I had a similar problem with mine and that sorted it out enough to get it drivable. Then you should be able to take it somewhere that can plug it into a computer and let you know what the fault is.

thanks for the advice i just bought the car just over a month ago and the warranty that came with car basically covers heehaw so i didnt want to be out of pocket just after buying it so i will defo try that when i get home.
