On Friday Afternoon I drove home from work at around 5:00pm, jumped into the S & everything seemed Normal, arrived home after about 15 mins of driving & parked car in the driveway.
Jumped back into the car at around 7:00pm & had alot of trouble getting the car into Gear, specifically 1-2-3, Reverse gear,4th,5th & 6th all seemed noraml enough, the thing was that it would shift into gear but showed alot of resitance, i started thinking that maybe my clutch is goneskies and wont engage properly but low & behold after about 20 mins of driving like this everything goes back to normal, shifter glides into place like butter, like it normally does.
I park up & leave the car sitting for about 2 1/2 hours & then go for a drive for about an hour afterwards. Whilst im in the M5 Tunnel the engine management light comes on? I get to a set of lights at the exit, turn the car off & then turn it back on & its still there.
I drove back home and have tried to avoide driving unless i absoloutely have to. am planning to get to a Workshop with appropriate diagnostic equipment to see whats up.
My question is do these 2 incidents seem related in any way?? My initial assumption is that it may be the Oxygen sensor as i recently had the headers Replaced & maybe it just co-incidence.
The thing is the car drives exactly the same, V-tech still engages, Temp Guage is still in the rite spot, idle sounds fine, no missfiring???
has anyone had this problem before, is the gearbox/clutch/master cylinder/shifter problem associated with the engine management light??
Any help would be appreciated.
