To update.....

Gearbox has failed 5k into my ownership. Car only has 57k on it now and had the box serviced 5k ago.

Will be a £3k repair which I am hoping the warranty will largely cover

Car felt fine until last week when it started juddering on pulling away. They lost all bar two years and a limited transmission warning. Turned on and off and it cleared until today when it failed altogether and left me stranded.

Anyone finding this thread and contemplating buying a powershift car- don't! Whilst you'll see optimistic posts where people say theirs has done 150k etc, I think most will fail at some point.
Did the warranty cover the gearbox ok?
This is the question we need an answer to!
