HI Dave, appreciate the response. Does seem an odd problem as its fine when turned off then back on. Ill certainly get the battery looked over, its not a great brand it has gone flat on me a few times, plus it only gets used every other weekend so is quite possible. I cant put a date to it but i have paperowork for parts to do a service so i would imagine it has been taken care of not so long ago. I think my best bet is to get the battery looked at. I dont want it to become a reason to sell again as i love it, even though its 17 years old, just drives unlike the new cars now.

Hi all, new to the forum. During the lockdown i decided to purchase a car i wish id never sold before so i found a fairly decent 2003 silver 330ci auto convertible with 93k. Shes been god as gold till recently. I had the autobox cog of death come up and after having it scanned it showed 00003c which seems to be autobox switch. Seems to only do it when cold, you switch on the engine and the cog appears, you switch off then back on and the box runs a dream. Im not sure if this is a coincidence but this problem started occuring after i fitted aftermarket radio involving removing shifter sourrounds. Does anyone know what might be causing this issue. Also i dont know if its related but the battery is probably not the best it could be. Many thanks guys
