Hi all - had a great time recently at goodwood revival & hoping for a quick blast back to Bristol in the coupe but alas, as soon as I hit the dual carriageway & tried third for the first time - nada! Wouldn't shift gear & then would throw itself into neutral. After trying all the usual turn it off & turn it back on again, disconnect the battery, switching through the sport/auto/normal/snow modes ecetera I conceded and the nice man from the AA saved me fifty notes and brought me home on the back of a flat bed.
I put her under a cover when we got back (fortuitously bought that day) as we took our honeymoon & there she's stood for a couple weeks but now I'm itching for a drive (especially as I'd only had the new straight through, crossover exhaust built the previous week) & want to get it sorted! Any ideas from the knowledgeable folks out there?!
She had a full major service including clutch & software update in April but have read somewhere (?) about a relay burning out the F1 pump?! The AA guy suggested maybe a solenoid?! But I'm open to suggestions & a keen, and relatively well spec'd home mechanic. I'm not adverse taking it to Dick Lovett but if it's simple would rather keep the pennies in my pocket or take it to a local garage if its a simple swap & change of parts!
Any thoughts appreciated!
