My car has suddenly developed a few issues.
Two days ago an amber warning light came on saying start/stop was unavailable. After turning the engine off the warning light disappeared and the start/stop function worked again, albeit intermittently.
Today when I started the car the gearbox was very stiff and it was very hard to change gears. I've also noted the change gears arrow on the TFT display has stopped working.
Not sure if this is of any relevance but the gearbox shifts through the gears easily when the engine is off but as soon as the engine is on it is ropey.
I've booked the car in at the garage but wondered if anyone has any idea what is causing the problems? Are they related? The first appointment is next Wednesday and I presume it is best not to drive it until taking it to the garage?
My car is not yet 18 months old and has less than 14,000 miles on the clock.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
