I would buy new and you get t...

Just to update on this now common problem it was the ignition switch. Once replaced no problems since, either not starting or cutting out when applying indicators. Hope this helps.

Thanks Huib, I will try the spare ignition on a perfectly good Fulvia I have and see if it still works, if not it's the barrel if it does it's a wire or connector fault. Strange I now have two cars with exactly the same fault? it must be quite a common thing?
