Hi there, anyone have any ideas what the problem is with my Dads C5 Tourer.
Battery went flat, replacement main battery and key battery.
Lots of strange issues such as non start, lights not working etc etc
Reset BSI via diagnostics and manually , lights and boot now working but no start. On the instrument panel there is nothing showing that its in Park or in Neutral. Comes up with brake problem which I thought was brake peddle switch , changed and no difference. Epb works absolutely fine. On diagnostics I cannot see the gearbox properly although it was working 100% before the flat battery.
Any ideas ????

Re: 2009 C5 Tourer no gears and no start
Ok so your best bet is to get the vehicle read with Diagbox. This is the dealer level diagnostic software used and will talk to all the ECUs in the car, which a lot of aftermarket units won’t.
There will probably be specific codes showing up and that will provide pointers. Replacing parts otherwise at random is not going to help. The systems are very heavily integrated and a fault in one system can have a knock on effect on another.
There are over a hundred fault codes just for the gearbox alone so it’s important to see what is going on.
If you can get it read, pop up the fault codes here.
If you don't have access to Diagbox, see this link for a list of members who do. There is a link atr the bottom of the list to Google Maps that shows you the broad location of each member. Just send one of them a Private Message:
