Booked Strawberry into the Smart garage to have some work done as I had decided to keep the car, well that was the idea. Booked in for Tuesday 16th. Got in and started it up but couldn’t select reverse, in fact couldn’t select any gears. Turned it off and tried again. Tried a further 4 attempts but nothing happened.
Phoned the garage and spoke to the boss, Chris. He said it was the foot brake switch sticking. The gearbox “thinks” that you haven’t put you foot on the brake before selecting a gear. Chris told me to pump the pedal hard to get it to work. Nothing.
Turned it off and tried to lift the pedal up with my foot. Started it back up, but still no joy.
Turned it off and went indoors to look for some matches, I felt like setting light to it. Came out and tried once more. And we got reverse. Reversed out and moved the gearstick over and I got the auto box sign. Drove off to the garage.
It’s still there.
