I know how you feel had similar experiance earlier this year when I had a fault with the gearbox, my dealer called after 2 days asking me if they could fit a switch on the gear lever and if this didnt fix it could they then fit a selector valve pack, Both items once fitted would have to be paid for and although the switch was £45, the pack was £400+!! I refused and instructed them to strip the box they then found broken teeth on a gear.

As for error codes apprently they dont allways produce ones with the faults listed above. You need to be a mechanic, not just a man that can read a computer and fit bits and bobs.

It annoys me to hear of fitters in main dealers so confused over what, if they were to take a step back from the computer and think about the basics for a moment, may be a simple mechanical failure, not everything can have a sensor on it and even if it does what if the sensor's wrong!!
