If all the gear selector lights are lit up red then the gearbox is in limp mode, which sticks the car in 3rd gear IIRC

OK. Useful information should it happen when I'm on the road. Because I only got it during the 3-4 point turns, and was then stopping and starting it again, I wouldn't have experienced it going into 3rd.

Anotherone for handbrake. Try facing the car up hill, always used to find it worse when facing downhill.
