Hi,

Just bought a 67plate connecta, was loving it except for one issue thats happened twice in 3 days, which might be user error.

I pulled into a row of shops and went to park, the road was a slope facing down, nothing too steep. I then tried to reverse a little to get myself in the space correctly but it wouldnt engage reverse and just rolled forward. This happened a few times until I was too close to a car in front to do anything about it. I then had to get the other car to move, at which point lo and behold I could reverse fine.

Hoped it was a one off but today I reversed out of a car space, again on a slope. I then tried to pull away in 1st gear and it wouldnt engage and seemed stuck in neutral. The auto hold didnt seem to engage either. Had to turn off engine and on again and could then pull away.

Im not sure if its something to do with autohold as I would certainly have tried to get it to engage before changing gear.

Anyone any ideas what is happening ?

Sorry I'm confused - are you talking about a manual or an automatic?

HI All,

This wasnt about the auto hold not coming on, but about the gear not engaging out of it.

This turned out to be driver error !

I was thinking it wasnt in gear but I was being too timid on the clutch and as had no manual brake to fall back on wasnt having faith in my feet so whilst I thought I wasnt in gear I was, but simply not getting past the biting point.

Not happened since thankfully :)
