Hi
I recently bought a Granturismo S F1 and have a gear box issue
I had a check transmission go to dealer error code come up, the car went into limp mode and wouldn't let me go past 2nd gear. I was 20 miles from home, i stopped a few times on the way to try turning it off and on again and when i got back it had corrected itself. About a week later it happened again and I was 50 miles away, i don't know why but i tried driving it in manual and put it into neutral while i was moving and selected a higher gear, it immediately went into 5th after experimenting with this method I was able to drive it home, learning to gestimate which gear it would select by my speed.
I took it back to the garage to check and as he was shifting through the gears on his diagnostic, his machine clashed with the cars computer and everything died, engine, gearbox. he told me that his software must be out of date, this was the day before lockdown in March he finally got round to fixing the car last week and i was delighted to have it back!
Since then I noticed that the MC sport mode is no longer showing in my options when pressing the sport button and to top it all off the check transmission go to dealer has re appeared today.
Has anyone experienced similar problems? also can anyone recommend an independent in the Northwest who is trustworthy and wont fleece me?
Any help greatly appreciated as i don't want to go back to the guy i bought her off
thanks
James
