Hey.... is that a radar detector on top of the dash????

Nope. Just the key.

Re the gearbox:

As you guys say its probably nothing serious but it has shaken my confidence a little.

If I had been overtaking something at the moment the drive failed it could have been messy.

As it was I had to launch the car in to someones driveway to avoid blocking the B road I was on.

When my car (unfortunately not a Turbo but PDK still) was 6 months old I had a  similar problem when coming to a busy roundabout. I could be hit from behind as the car lost drive. Switched off and then on and the glitch was gone; the system must have rebooted.

They reported the problem to the Factory and an update was downloaded and  installed. Since then no problems.
