No reverse gear!

Post by Actus Reus »

So, last night, I decided to pop round and see the missus at about half past nine, and it's pretty damn chilly. I jump in the faithful 'Roc, and start to shuffle out of my space by the side of my road. She backs up, goes forward and then...nothing! Reverse just vanished, as did neutral. The car sat, seemingly in park no matter where I moved the stick. The electronic display on the dash showed that I was changing gear, and D still worked, but no R or N!!

I switched off and re-started and reverse was back and I've not been able to recreate the problem....just a gremlin???

probably a one off, but i would still get it booked in so the problem is logged. Just incase it happens again, and especially if something goes wrong out of warranty.
I can rely on my car, it's my Roc!!!
