thanks for your comments. Just lost power and limped to hard shoulder nothing happened when I turned the key on engine. No visible sign it was the gearbox.

 

Lucky have 2 months left on warranty but took them (Ford) a week to reach decision to replace gearbox

 

thanks for deleting others wasn't sure where to post after looking below I am still having problems replying

Update on gearbox given 28th September eta for replacement box makes it nearly 7 weeks waiting for part, had to fight Ford Customer Services tooth and nail to get them to give me a replacement car after 2 weeks without my car!!
