Re: ? Gearbox Fault
Get the faults cleared. Then see what comes back.
Could be due to the shop having disconnected battery, then re-connected again after their work.
An iCarsoft 930 (about £90 inc new) is a useful tool and saves the £30 fee most indies charge for that.
Forget main agent.
Another way is to disconnect both battery leads, use cable tie to connect both leads' terminals together, leave for 20 mins or so, then re-connect. Often referred to as a "hard-reset". But my experience is that doesn't clear all faults
Let us know how you get on?
