[iainfm]

No, but if you have (or can find someone with) a diags cable and AlfaDiag/FiatECUscan, you can diagnose it yourself.

Are there any other symptoms? Other than your CAPS LOCK being stuck on?

[taylor78]

might be worth posting in the one of the northern sections...

I'm over near Burnley, but have a laptop and FiatECUscan, but don't profess to be an expert on Selespeeds....Ferdi at Ferdis Garage at lytham is a well regarded Alfa expert...not cheap, but knows his Alfas...might be worth a call. Give me a shout on 07976 384980 if I can help....

sorted it lads and thanks for your comments, i took it to ferdi's garage on monday and he put it on computer, said it could need a selespeed pump which aint cheap... well the good news is i rung him yesterday and he said he'd thought hard abt it and remember he had a car with the same problem many years ago and remembered what the problem was::: the solinoid on the actuator... so told me to bring it down asap yesterday and he depressurised the system changed the part, pressurised it all back up, calibrated the gearbox ect tweeked a few more things and there you go 2 hours later.... sorted. in the 4 years ive had it- its never changed gear and run so good.. that man/garage is a genius.. oh and he only charge me £120 alltogether well worth it..
