I have just picked the car up from supercar Italia where am I am I have finally read the codes, fault code, P0070. I’m not sure if this is related to my issue that is my RCY warning light on the dashboard. There’s normally only comes on when I’m on the bypass or a motorway and it automatically drops the car into third gear. This will last about 30 seconds or so at the warning light would go back out in the car, Pot back into full on the 20 mile journey home. It did about 10 times I have noticed it’s when I D Exceller rate if I keep a constant speed it seems to be okay. Can anyone help it’s driving me mad

Transmission and engine codes are unlikely to be related. A google says that code is for the intake air ambient temp sensor.

Thanks for the reply. I’ve just open the page in the manual myself and it’s possible it’s both the rear speed sensors?

If the rear speed sensors had failed I’d have thought you get an ABS/ASR fault too.

You are right, I do get ABS/ASR fault, but I hadn’t thought they would be related. The manual says both the rear speed sensors faulty. Do you think this is the way to go? Euro spares looks like they’re special order, they are selling secondhand ones

The rear speed sensors are toothed rings and they are steel and they both rust and also pick up debris. Might be worth a visit with a wire brush? Or at least inspect, because it's as likely to be the toothed rings as the sensors?
