That's great, thanks mate. As I said its at the garage now so I'll have a chat with them. I'll let you know when it's sorted. Oli

I apologise in advance if this has been covered before. I was told there is a guru on here called Smaky?? My car is at an Indie Alfa garage at the moment and they are lost to what is wrong. Originally the synchros in the gear box were replaced back in July. I was told that the clutch looked healthy. All was great until mid December when the car suddenly dropped out of gear while pulling away and revved to 4000 rpm until i blipped the throttle. Switched off engine but the pump continued to run? I undid the battery and awaited recovery. Recovery guy connected the battery started the car and followed me home all ok. I thought id take the car to the garage and get it checked. Broke down again on the way. Pump running constantly. RAC guy tried a few things but although the car was in (N) it said (1) on the screen so would not start. The garage changed 2 relays, pump, accumulator, pressure sensor, re calibrated and extensive test driving. All ok. The day after picking it up it broke down with the same problem and its got them stumped. I seriously dont want to look for new cars as everything else is fine and the condition is great. This issue is annoying me because the car is perfectly ok other than this if you see where im coming from. Does anybody have any ideas please please??
