Maybe PM me!

Are warranties still available? The car's aren't too old now?

Where are you based?

Could be as simple as a broken compression spring in the gearbox - circa £2 each or a faulty Gear Positioning Sensor - circa £250.

A quick scan would give a better idea of the problem.

Hopefully at the garage on Wednesday for a check up.

I had similar faults on and off then seemed to get worst
Ended up with a new box on warranty, I can pm you the cost of
That if you want an even bigger scare.
Hopefully it's just the pump as this is a common fault but still a pricey one.

All sorted...

Had fault code P1756 and needed a new Detent spring, which had snapped.

Glad it's all sorted and didn't cost to much.

Hurrah!

Always a relief when it's something cheap, rather than all the expensive things you worry it could be

Thanks

Couple of hours labour was all really... So could have been a lot worse...
