  1. This was what I had been thinking may be the problem. maybe an auto electrician would be a good idea to check out the wiring as it just seems like too many issues are appearing at the same time.
  2. A short while ago my car started to develop some intermittant gearbox issues. Basically the car would go into limp mode from time to time for no real reason and the gearbox would not change up cleanly. The display on the dash while I was at stand still would flicker between P, N, R and D but once moving would sometimes return to D. Also after a short while the manual selection on the auto gearbox would fail. If I switched the engine off and then back on it would clear for a while but over a short period it would return. As advised on here I took it to Bayswater Automatics who were very helpful. They put it on their diagnostic machine and it came up with a few error codes, one being the inhibitor switch(the part that the gear selector linkage fits to), and the other being the switch on the manual selection. They noted that they had never seen both fail at the same time so suggested that that the inhibitor switch was changed first. The switch was changed and the gearbox over Christmas has functioned as it should. However the dash display now remains in D all the time and the manual selection does not work at all any more. Bayswater have suggested changing the dip switches but I was wondering if anyone has come across this issue before and can advise what it might be before I spend more money changing things that may not be faulty. One last thing. I noticed over Christmas that the cruise control isn't working. I do not know when this stopped working so not sure if it is linked to the other issues. Could it be an electrical wiring issue. Any advice or experience would be appreciated with this
  3. been going to this for a while now and the last 2 meets due to the good weather have had good turnouts. the organisers reckoned there were over 900 cars this week.
  4. Searched a few posts on here as I am starting to develop a gearbox problem. I need a good garage in or around the bayswater/croydon area and have seen that Bayswater autos seem to do a good job. Does anyone have a number for them.
  5. I have been looking through this site in relation to a gearbox issue I have. My car intermittantly won't go into the semi auto option(manual selection of gears) but if I switch the ignition off and on again then its ok for a while. Also the indication on the dash flickers from time to time as if it doesn't know what gear it is in, then when I accelerate sometimes it just sits in the same gear as if its trying to sort a down change. Also pulling away its as if its in second gear The car is a BA turbo with a BF II gearbox fitted. Will taking it to a main dealer show up any issues. If anyone has any suggestions let me know or does it look like the gearbox is on its way out. I don't want to get ripped off so if anyone knows of similar experiences let me know.
