Hi all, It had to happen and I was just gritting my teeth waiting for it. The 1.2 Sport which my wife adores threw itself into "N" today as she came to a stop at a junction. She turned the car off and on and it worked fine.
I believe this is the start of issues and I would like to keep on top of them and so with this in mind what are the steps to take. The car is a 2008 and so I am on my own. Are there any prelim checks I should do or should I just get it into a garage right now.
From what I have read, garages are a bit "hit or miss" with dealing with this issue and some start re resetting software and this ends up in a big bill later when this doesn't fix it. Should I just get the whole thing replaced now? and if so is it the whole gearbox or just the actuator (please be gentle I am an engine novice)
If I need to use a garage any suggestions for someone who knows what they are doing? I live in South Lincs 20 mile above Peterborough.
Thanks in advance (I await the posts about sell it/should have bought a manual but the wife loves it and I will not sell it with a fault)
