In my experience it can throw this message once in a blue moon, and then not appear again...hopefully yours will do the same.
Sometimes I think these cars really do have a personality though - maybe yours was reacting to the unexpectedly long drive to Englandshire and back....

 My aged parents whom I was taking back up to Scotlandshire didnt even notice we doing 90ish. Just commented on the smooth ride and handling and lack of noise in the back.

Take care David, it can get a little more noisy in the back above the 90-ish kph that you reported doing. Wouldn't want the parents to experience any discomfort!

Mine gets the same code if I'm a bit too keen on the shifter when changing direction. As long as I make sure it's fully stationary for a moment or two it seems fine. Thats user error though
 I haven't had it for a few weeks since I figured out what I was doing wrong!

I tried it several times today and its perfectly ok and normal until i select reverse and then there's a pause - a hard clunk and then it goes into limp mode. It doesnt seem to be dependent on how quickly i select it.
I have just contacted Maria at Prestige Motor Services (our illustrious sponsor) and whilst they have a couple of 8 pin/round plug F125s, they dont have any of the later 10 pin/flat plug switches which I suspect my Jul 2002 registered AVP/FBG car needs. Does anyone know how easy it is to check the connector type?

Buy a new one, not significantly more.

Thanks Andrew/Mark for that. I have read the Audiforum "how to" but its not clear whether the connector itself is easily accessable.
