I was driving the car last night in RRR mode and it was running perfect. Get home and stop outside my garage to engage reverse so i could back it in and touch the accelerator and there is no drive, so i thought perhaps it is in neutral to stick it in park and engage reverse again tap the throttle, the car then lights up the dashboard with Engine Malfunction warning light and Transmission Malfuction warning lights, it therefore disengages from RRR to NRR and on the dashboard it flashed transmission picture but that then disappeared and it just lights the exlamation mark as well as the CEL. I manage to back the car into the garage.
This morning went and started it up and again the CEL is still lit and on the dash computer after it does it's checks it says transmission is fine, oil level fine and then flashes up with Engine Malfunction Visit HPC. In the owners manual it mentions that a few short drives can resolve a permant lit CEL so I nudge the car out of the garage and it drives forward with no problems, go to check reverse and the same thing happens as last night. Again i drive it forward with no issues and then engage reverse once more and it works fine. However the CEL is still on so Monday morning i guess Middlehurst are going to have to send a flat bed down to pick it up and sort this issue out.
Very disappointing but i guess these things happen and it's better to catch them early on! Anyone else had a CEL or Engine Malfuction and Transmission Malfunction warning lights come on?
