Bought a 2006 QP, 100k miles but out of the three I tried, easily the best (not many in Ireland), full service history, one owner (the head guy at Three Ireland). It's a nice ice blue, beige interior, new clutch on 98k, but I have this issue. Dealer sorting it but I'm wondering if the Borg mind here can offer any insight for my own knowledge.
Basically, it seems after every longish journey either immediately after or the next day I get the dreaded 'Transmission Failure' warning, followed by MSP, ASR, Suspension, go to dealer and won't start but engine turns enthusiastically. Today in the middle lane North Strand, Dublin. Took four of us to push it off the road, my coolness factor taking a **** of a dive....
Recovery peeps took it to Ken Plant here in Dubs, and apparently there it started and ran fine. It did the other time it was trailered in UK, dropped it off at Autoshield M/cr last week and they said it was clutch position sensor, replaced it and it drove the best ever, buttery changes (normal/sports of course). Of course it drove off the trailer BTW almost like time or movement resets or reseats something - fell in love with it again tho.
The only other time it happened it did it on my drive in UK, exact same warning lights, next day, fine. So that's three times in six weeks.
Autoshield also told me F1 pump was showing intermittent low pressure and will need replacing eventually and that's the first thing Ken Plant said this morning. I can hear it prime but not this morning cos of the traffic noise.
I'm thinking it is the pump. Any advices?
