corsa cv joint gaiters?

Hi Cherry previous answer on cv gaitors correct.What you need to know about easytronic faults is that they often cost £1000+ to fix!! If your car is getting old the repair may cost more than the car is worth.

The cv joint gaiters on the drive shafts shouldn't affect the gearbox.

If this is an easytronic automatic, then to quote from the handbook:

"If a fault occurs in Easytronic , the control indicator lights up (that's the car / spanner light) . In the event of serious faults, an "F" also appears in the transmission display. It is possible to continue driving if only car / spanner lights up. Manual mode can then no longer be selected."

"If an "F" is also shown in the transmission display , it is not possible to continue driving. Have the cause of the fault remedied. We recommend that you consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. The system's integrated self-diagnostics allows faults to be quickly remedied."

That basically means is that your car needs hooking up to a diagnostic fault code reader to establish what the problem is. I hope you are using a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
