Worth checking; I had a Fiat that did the same thing, Long story short it was traced by an auto-electrician to the throttle potentiometer. As you open the throttle the central contact slides along. This differential tells the CPU where the throttle is. In my case it was a broken wire which required some healthy bodge work. BIL had the same issue with his Citroen so you never know HTH.

Thank you.

Just PX'ed a Ford after 12 years of reliable service. Now have a comfy, elevated seating, 2020 Crossland X and have been impressed so far. Was told that it drinks engine oil at the rate of 1/3 litre per 1000 miles. My 1970's 2 stroke motorbike wasn't that bad. Is it really that thirsty?

Yes, I have had that issue. It's the USB cable that's the issue. It needs to be high speed, comparable to the original charge cable.
