Any advice pls. I have a 2006 307 2.0L Tiptronic. When the car is cold i get a thump from the transmission and the transmission fault light comes on together with a speed control fault. The gearbox seems to be frozen in top gear after that. If i switch of and strat up again it clears the fault. It is getting worse though happens every morning now.

Get a diagnostic check done on the gearbox ecu. Is it leaking from the driveshaft oil seals?

Cant see anything on the driveway, I'll take a closer look. It struck me it could be low ATF as it happens when the the fluid is cold, it expands when it heats if I'm not mistaken
