back in march. At first it worked perfectly but now whenever l turn the ignition it revs by itself. l just sit there with my feet on none of the peddles and it happily shoots upto 2000 revs by itself. Also when l change gear or go up a hill it over revs and barely moves- especially up hills when acceleration is needed. l spoke to a garage and the man said its a problem with thew cars computer(???) and that he would need a new computer from another fiat brava along with the keys. Does this sound right. When l first bought the car it was great but this is really doing my head in now. l can take the reving by itself cos its not a problem if im in 3rd/4th gear as the revs will be that high anyway but the over revving and revving when im in 1st gear is a nightmare - ANY help much appreciated as im clueless when it comes to cars - CHEERS

Sound feasible, but get a second opinion if you're not convinced: Any garage with diagnostic kit should be able to tell you straight away.

I'd get it sorted ASAP; If this causes an accident & the police check over your car, you will be in very deep poo!
