I've been having a few problems getting my Manual forfour into reverse gear for a while now and it has been steadily getting worse.
I decided that as my cars warranty was up in November and it was due a service i would take it to a main dealer to have it serviced (£298!!!!) and mention the gearbox problems.
later in the day i get a phone call from the garage saying i need a new gearbox and my warranty had run out on the Oct 12 (oh :censor:, i checked my documents and found that they were indeed correct to my horror). They said they would put a uskulab claim in to see if they could get smart to pay for the new gearbox.
Well i'm getting a new gearbox at a cost of £1800 and i have got to pay £98.02 towards the cost which i don't think is too bad.
The moral of this story - Check when your warranty runs out!!!
The forfour is known to have a bit of a dogey reverse gear so i'll let everyone know if it makes a difference or not.
