On the way back, the transmission gear indicator on the dash came on with the flashing spanner. Not sure why, the car had only been driving for a few km so I pulled over and switched off the car then started her again and the light never came back on. several weeks later, still no sign of the light so looks to be ok for the minute. :)
The dash lights on this thing are so bright at night I think my retinas are sunburnt! They are supposed to be auto adjustable but far too bright for me ... another thing for the dealer to look at on the first service!
