He is only ten miles away so the car will only get a low speed urban run. Next longish run is planned for 20th June to Penrith and back, though, in contrast to Mondays motorway trip, this one is an uphill/downdale low speed itinerary, so not really comparable.

I had a similar problem with a VW polo a few years back and garage said an exhaust heat shield was missing causing the linkage to get hot when in stop start traffic. It was fine at any other time, it was a holiday home car in Portugal and I sold it before sorting it. This is probably not applicable on the 75 but just a thought.

If gearchanges are becoming difficult when running but ok with the engine off, it’s usually a sign of a failing slave cylinder.
I’m sure John will be able to diagnose this for you.
