    The car runs fine now with a clean up of the oil, but is only a temporary fix i suppose. What do you think it might be more than just the leak? thanks

    Engine diognostics???? Limp home mode

    Finally yes. Right... the EGS (under the passenger foot well) has had oil leaking onto the wiring and it has caused the problem. I have had this cleaned up and the car runs a hell of a lot better, changing through the gears as it should. The EGS has been swapped temporarily and the the unit...

    Possible ETC tramsmission fault

    Interesting, I have never driven one before but one of the garges did say that it was lacking power and he said the gear changes was not correct. Although they change ok before going into limp home mode. I think it does respond slow for a 2.2. So I think yes to both the questions. Cheers
