Re: CVT Transmission Locking
The gear shift getting stuck in "Park" is getting worse over the last couple of weeks. Doesn't matter whether on hill or flat, or foot on brake before/after ignition turned on. It happens about 80% of the time, to the point, I have a little piece of wood on the dash to push the Gear Shift Release when it gets stuck.
I've booked it in for a check on Warranty, andwas told that it may not necessarily be a warranty issue - why? Anyway, will find out tomorrow.
Just a foot note to pressing the Gear Shift Release. Before using the piece of wood to release it, we were using the ignition key. I received a "panic" call from my wife, saying the gear shift was locking again, and she used the ignition key to release it. Since doing that, the hazard lights were flashing whilst driving even though they weren't turned on, and she was now at the petrol station and the petrol cover would not open!
It appears that when she used the ignition key to release the Gear Shift, she unwittingly pressed the Ignition lock button on the key. This cause the hazard lights to operate when driving, and also locks the petrol cover. I told her to press the unlock button on the ignition key, and this would solve the problem.
I only knew about this becasue the same thing happened to me when using the ignition key to unlock the Gear Shift. I pressed the ingition key lock button and drove off with the hazard lights flashing until I got home and realised what I had done.

Re:
I won't be suprised if it is the battery, as the T31 batteries seems to die around the 3 years mark as recently experienced by Scot and others. The optimal battery measure is around 14.6v while the car is running with all lights and accessories off and will drop to around 13.8-14.2v with the headlights lights on.

Re:
An auto electrician will soon tell you if you need a new battery. At least then its peace of mind.
