Gearbox failure warning.

Car is stuck on roadside and I'm waiting for recovery.

Luckily I was just parking up, outside a nice Turkish restaurant, so had an unexpected bonus meal.

Happy Friday!

RAC turned up two and a half hours later. Switched the car on and all clear. No faults shown.

Drove it home gingerly.

Will be on the phone to the local dealership tomorrow.

😁 You have a dark sense of humour.

Hmmm… ominous that this could be the fuel pump. Had this happen a couple of times before it gave up. I think one of the warnings that came up was gearbox failure.
Not sure diagnostics will pick it up so get it replaced anyway under recall.
Hope the food was nice though!

Interesting. I'm booked in for the pump replacement at the end of March. Maybe I should try to get them to do it sooner...?
