Hi, I hope someone would be able to help me.
I was driving my Megane (52 Plate) on dual carriageway, stopped on traffic lights..put back in gear and the car started juddering (as if run out of petrol) and it got stuck in middle of dual carriage way (at midnight). Anyway, engine wouldn’t start now and it is completely dead. No battery probs as all lights/radio works fine. Called RAC guy and the car wouldn’t move an inch to be towed. He thinks the gearbox is knackered and hence it’s stuck. He managed to tow me anyway back home, car now lying on driveway. The car has only done about 50k on clock, surely gearbox aren’t that fragile??? If it is gearbox issue than why wouldn’t the engine start, atleast? Always had starting prob from day one. By the way display does not show any warning lights apart from Service, which was on before due to immobiliser probs (i been told). Any suggestions guy?
Thanks for your helping advance.
