So anyway problem fixed well that problem but since picking the car up the little p on the dash flashes when started and when put into drive it just has a zero displayed in normal d mode and in pf mode . Also its seems to hold gear even when coming to a stop like 3rd gear what the hells going on any ideas ? after a few mins p mode displays gears but still hold high gers when it shouldnt be and sometimes seems to take 2 or sec to make up its mind of what gear it wants when it does start working Edited 15/08/08 11:44 AM by trevs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
