    Default sport switch

    94 540

    Put the car thru the auto wash today and from when I drove out the car only has sport mode.

    Switching to "A" briefly changes dash indicator but then it quickly reverts to sport and the revs stay high.If I get to cruising speed and select "A" the revs drop and it seems to run in adaptive although the dash still shows "S".

    As soon as I stop it defaults back to sport again and I've got to do the same again to get the revs down.

    Would you guys be thinking switch problem or gearbox issue.

    I'd lean towards the switch. The one for the sunroof is the same switch with different legends so it's an easy experiment to swap them. Perhaps then causing your sunroof to remain open?
    Follow up on the radio??

    thanks Ross will try and swap them over tomorrow.
    Couldn't get the radio to accept the code but ended up finding a place that was able to wire in a new head with mp3 and usb which is what i really wanted in the first place.

    only went the secondhand way because was told it was a major hassle to wire in a newie

    rgds,
