Hi
I recently started having gearbox problems again. It oft stuck on limp mode or 4 th gear and them went back to normal for a bit. It always seemed to happen when accelerating quickly and often warning light would come on briefly

I took it to pcs who diagnosed purge valve issue and all is fine again now they have replaced it

Car seems to shift through gears much better so it looks like I will be keeping it for a bit longer as I maintenance cost seem to creep up a bit recently

Off to find some new tyres now as they are nearing 2mm now :)
