Hello, I bought my car in January 2024, after two months the gearbox went. Luckily I had taken out a three year extended warranty or this would’ve cost me in a region of £6000 to replace.

My car was towed to a garage and remained there for 3 1/2 months due to issues with parts. A new gearbox was ordered and this took over a month to arrive due to the constraints of the war in Europe but it had a fault and another part was ordered again and finally when it did arrive, the new gearbox was installed. 

I’m still having issues with the car, it appears that after a certain amount of hours after the engine has cooled down and then when you restart the engine there appears to be a lack of speed until the car reaches 15 mph it then becomes driveable.

Thanks
