OK, so yesterday had off site day at Haynes Car Museum. Great day went in the 4200 no problem.
When leaving couldn't get car into Neutral to start. Paddles un-responsive. Able to start it as in dropped itself back to N when ignition turned to start then went in to 1st. Gearbox warning light on and auto mode. Would not select reverse at all or Neutral, so therefore couldn't get out of parking space ......major embarrassment.
Tried restarting numerous times, running for a while and reset from boot.....nothing. Had to get workshop guys out from Haynes to help push it back out of space. I then headed off home, with tail between legs. After 10 mins drive auto switched it self off and all manual controls came back, warning light went out.
? thoughts.
Hope this doesn't happen tomorrow at Silverstone....but I guess I will be amongst friends who understand these foibles.
