I have just replaced the battery in my Vauxhall Astra which is a semi automatic and the car will only go into 4th gear - anyone know how to sort it?

  • usually you have to get them plugged in at vauxhall for £60 when you change the battery sometimes the corsas electric power steering does this as well just needs a quick calibration

    might be able to catch a mechanic out the back and slip them a tenner if your lucky

    Thanks - been all through the manual and couldn't find any mention of it.
  • Put the ignition on and pop it in reverse and see if the reverse lights are on.

    If they are not on, check the fuse for the fag lighter. Sounds daft, but been there a lot of times with automatiuc Vauxhalls...
