Thanks Geoff

Picked up my 1996 diesel from service & MOT and it drove home like a dream. Took it out again later in the evening and the hold light started continually flashing as soon as it was in drive. Speedo and rev counter are still working fine but the gear changes are now jerky, especially 1-2 and 2-1. it ...

Any ideas please? Thanks

Thanks Geoff & Northern Bongolow
TPS sensor is now replaced and the mechanic wondered why there are two screws where you wouldn't expect there to be!
