Fiat 500 petrol injection failure warning light flashing - is it safe to drive the car?
The injection failure warning light on my car is flashing. Is it safe to drive about 15 miles to my local dealer or do I need to arrange a tow truck? If the latter will the AA do it for me?

Read the driver's manual. You don't say which engine it has (1.2 or 1.4), but this is the first I have heard of any such failure. Might be due to contaminated petrol. Phone the dealer and ask. I guess you have the standard FIAT AA cover. The dealer should be able to tell you if that allows a tow in.
