Smart Roadster (2002 - 2006) - Recently purchased car has persistent fault 27 Mar 2014 (Forum)
The car has the usual Smart semi-auto gearbox and what happened was this: the car cut out and the gear display on the dash went blank, followed by three parallel bars, indicating that no gear could be selected. Bah. Disconnected the battery for 5 minutes, and hey presto it's all working again. I drive it to the local Smart dealer, about a mile from my house. My reasoning is that they're local, they're specialists, they'll be able to fix it easily and if I try to do it through the car supermarket where it was bought, I'm in to a logistical nightmare, and in any case, they'll refuse to fix it gratis as we're two whole days outside their 30 day warranty. -
