It works perfectly in manual and i want to know can i continue to drive in manual mode for the forseable future, as its no great hardship and my MPG has improved.

You can tell by now i am no expert, so any advice would be very welcome and much appreciated.

Thank you so much.

Colin.
Contact Horton Cars in Aylesbury before you start ripping out gearboxes read this….

Contact your local dealer to see if you’ve got the latest software update. A failing solenoid pack could be the issue plus a few other fixes that could be way cheaper than a full gearbox replacement. Good luck.
