Yeh but then we have to pay tow fee and their diagnostcs charge. About £700 out of pocket for nothing.I think the failing here is the dealer looking at it. I'd be willing to bet a competent garage would have a different diagnosis. My advice would be get it moved to your garage, a 200 quid tow bill would likely save you a load of grief and cash
I have no idea all I know is car wouldnt start one week ago and this is now where I am at.Is there a breakdown in understanding somewhere?
Is it a no drive fault or a no start fault? I'm sure it's normal not to be able to drive when the engine isn't running
I'd say their diag isnt worth 70p. Seems to me its either incompetence or maybe they are trying to make a few quid on warranty workYeh but then we have to pay tow fee and their diagnostcs charge. About £700 out of pocket for nothing.

Yes I do have this. I may have to look into it. Good call thanks.
Sounds to me like it's a known fault.. failure of transmission control module.. now thinks it's a toaster.Totally agree, I'd say that diagnosis was for someone else's car.
How can you expect to change gear when the engine isn't running. Shocking report.
Leave gender politics out of this thread… reportednow thinks it's a toaster.

Agreed 100%I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say THERES NO PRESSURE COS THE ENGINE ISNT RUNNING but maybe their code reader doesnt tell them that
It sort of "Begs the question"..... are they total lack-wits?Agreed 100%
I was going to suggest the same thing.
The transmission oil pump won't be pumping, if the bloody engine isn't running.
Just spoken to my husband who said they told him the engine was running but the auto dial in the middle would move but nothing wouldTotally agree, I'd say that diagnosis was for someone else's car.
