All sorted finally! some pictures for future reference. thanks for all your help!

He is also putting a new lever unit in too. 250 is labour and for the emergency call out. He will prepare it all at his workshop and fit straight away. It’s less than I expected if I am honest and living in central London, it’s expensive for anything. I need the car for work so stuck in a hard place for a fix that I need to make money. Thanks for all your help as well, been a great reassurance. If only I was a mechanic, I’d be rich!

So after a lot of hard work finding an electrician.. problem has been identified. The obd scan showed a fault in the gear lever. He pulled it apart and one of the connection ports has eroded and there is on 9 pins where there should be a 10. The port was sticy and going green. Likely that a Liquid from a drink has spilled through and corroded the port. Has quoted 500 inc labour for the work which is a lot less than expected.

Battery changed still have the same issues. Batter mechanic runs a scan and no faults were seen. now time for the local garage to have a look

Going to get it changed still.. it’s over three years old. with the 12v reading could it still be a battery problem?

Dad has plugged a generic obd scanner in and it’s showing 12v with the engine on. Going to ring the local garage in the morning to see if they can plug into Skoda one

Thanks… the magic eye is clear at the moment have ordered a replacement and fitting, hopefully that sorts it.

Car was running fine, parked up and left it for 8 hours. I came back and went to start. Engine would not turn on initially. Got it to start, green lighting on gear shifter was not on, revved hard and it came on and was able to change to reverse. I turned it off and back on again. Several warning lights appeared and messages. Gearbox error: ok to drive parkingpilot not available stop start not activated tyre pressure indicator i managed to start it and get it home. It is now not starting 1 times out of 20 and won’t allow me to change into gear when it does! Anyone that can help.
