Thanks for your advice, will do voltage check tomorrow AM , not good at AM's.
Pedal trick gives me a 1700 which (if I'm looking at the right list) is "service vehicle soon Request from transmission control module" could be a clue?

Omega General Help / gearbox in limp mode when cold

« on: 02 August 2011, 11:49:39 »

Hi guys,
had the car 12 months, perfect in every way until!!!-:( Had to leave car off road for 6 weeks then, when I returned, battery flat. Gave it a good charge and it fired-up in no time. Engaged D and there was a unhealthy thud feeling and the engine warning light came on.
The car drove on in limp mode (in 3rd, no sport etc) but within a mile the light was out and everything was fine. I thought, possibly a side effect of being stood for a month, and went on my merry way without incident.
Following morning same thing, and every morning since , but after a mile (when engine is nearly up to temp) it corrects itself.
Any ideas?
Would it benefit from ATF change? here's hoping!
cheers
