Up behind the dash - somewhere by the pedals from memory.  I think it was a HU code?

No joy either. Neither car was the same as i saw a while back, both manual and too new. No punto s of the right year either, Arse.
Yes he is on drugs.
Maybe need a part finder style joby on tinternet they have a data base of breakers, they ring you with a price(to the door) you pick the cheapest one.
Hope helps.

There are several services of similar idea iirc, worth trying a couple at least.  But yes i do tend to hang up with indian call centres. All english names youll notice, and oh so helpfull. They Must think we where all born yesterday.

Gearbox was off a taxed and MOT'd car so was driven about a bit when I got it to make sure...the only dodgy box I have had so far got sent to its maker with the rest of the car lol But as said, if after all this it turns out to be the box (which I would say is unlikely) then I will replace it more than happily free of charge :)

Hmm autoboxes aint my favourite as most on here will tell you but i reckon it could just be the selector switch is goosed thus sending wrong signals to the ecu?or actualy the connector iis full of crud? i know you cleaned the actual switch out but if it goosed its goosed!!
maybe worth a try?
p.s just reread it ad nowhere does it say you have refilled the box the correct way? take it you have refilled the box?

HI OMEGATOY, its a different switch,different g/box,,,,,same result, :'( i cleaned all the plugs with switch cleaner so should be nice & clean but my only doubt is the blue plug by the battery as there is a line of 5 contacts that seem to be all connected & cant quite make out if they are supposed to be that way, the socket it goes into on the same 5 contacts are independent of each other, perhaps MARK DTM could confirm this as normal or otherwise if he sees this post :y, cheers for the suggestion anyway, now i know why you dont like auto`s :D
