Computer says brake and accelerator are incompatible
When I brake, the brake lights stay, if I pull the pedal back, the lights go off but the engine starts reving its head off. It's the same when driving: the engine always seem to be racing. Computer says brake and accelerator are incompatible. Ggarage said they did'nt know what to do.

Reads like a problem with the Dualogic actuator. Will require a member of www.fedauto.co.uk or a FIAT garage or specialist for a fix. Fred will simply be left scratching his head.
