Hoping there is a Citroen Guru out there - I can’t find anything on the interwebs.

The other half has just got herself a 2011 Citroen C4 as a runabout, within 24 hours of ownership it is showing a gearbox fault and will only use gears 1st, 2nd and 3rd in manual mode only, so must be some form of limp mode.

I’ve found other people having similar problems, but can’t seem to find an obvious answer. Hoping it’s a simple fix but doesn’t look likely.

Many thanks smile

Completely forgot I put this thread up.

It was a bugger to diagnose, but it turned out to be the brake switch (a £5 part of all things). Well fingers crossed anyway as it’s not played up since.

I can’t tell you how much of a mare it was to figure out what was wrong. It got that bad I booked it into a gearbox specialist for a rebuild.

It wasn’t until I happened to come up behind my partner I noticed it’s brake lights were on solid.
