12C, 1 week of ownership, major problems!
Discussion
Well today mine is now going back to McLaren. No gears...forward or back...no nothing accept the alarm going off in the car telling me it was in limp mode which would be fine if I had any gears !! Roadside say the main ECU unit has failed plus a load of other codes which means it has to go back to McLaren in Ascot by low loader. ....but they cannot collect the car till Tuesday FFS! Oh the joys of a supercar!

Is it bad luck though? Or is it poor build quality?
I don't know if I would dismiss any major mechanical failure on a 6 month old £200k car as bad luck.
The cars are all hand built with care using parts that meet McLaren standards. Any parts, even for the slightest reason that aren't up to scratch are sent back to the supplier. The cars all go through a strict quality process before leaving.I don't know if I would dismiss any major mechanical failure on a 6 month old £200k car as bad luck.
The car is after all used, so you never know, damage of some sort could have been caused during the previous ownership. However, regardless of that, it is a shame you have experienced this on your first McLaren.
Hopefully all is sorted soon!
