Couple of issues

[V8time]

Hi everyone started my car yesterday after a couple of weeks and came up with parking brake failure I turned the car off and on again and the light disappeared
And I was driving it and it went into neutral could it be a clutch issue

When I started my car yesterday I got ESC and ASR failure, and the car wouldn't change up from 2nd in Auto mode (but would using the paddle). After driving it for about 20 minutes to ensure that most of the car was above zero degrees, I switched the engine off, restarted the car and everything was fine.

Yesterday was VERY cold.

ESC and ASR sounds like a low battery thing. A good long drive or trickle charge should sort unless the battery needs replacing.

Mine comes up with ‘Park off’ every now and again, EPB is disabled but turning the ignition off and back on again can remedy...not really got a clear idea of what is causing it.

If clutch is slipping into neutral I’m fairly sure that’s a sign of the clutch needing replacing...do you know when it was last changed and what the wear Reading is at roughly?

Yes - my post was meant to illustrate that yesterday was extremely cold, and any strange behaviour could very well be related to the temperature. I am quite comfortable putting my problems down to the cold, and have no intention of getting them looked at.

You could try a gearbox relearn. My car slipped into neutral a few times after a period of not being used. It had the relearn at the service and it has been bob on since.

Is there any specialists in Essex to check it out

You need to get it into a garage with diagnostic machine.
