Cecil every now and then won't engage a gear and crunches it, I've had it to bmw but it's intermittent so can't get it to do it in front of a tech. I've replaced the salmon relay. I've got full warranty on it but they can't claim until something fails apparently. Any ideas? Makes you look a right wally when you boot it past someone and its crunching and screaming up the revs!!

For me I wouldn't spend. £1000 + on warranty. Each year. On a twelve year old car,, But put it into proper maintenance.and that includes not spending hundreds of pounds at dealers on services, on a few pints of oil and oil filter,,for a poxy stamp...do it yourself,, Problem could be sticking clutch issue, or gear engagement problem, eg possibly springs and locating pin or ball bearing in box, they are a easy job, and the cheapest, 4or five hr job, also do gearbox oil change at same time. Could also be in hydrolics, but unlicly , sure there will be plenty of other suggestions on possible causes
