Default car keeps going crazy and will not start - then starts

Hi keep having issues where car will not start it throws up so many issues - gearbox fault, dsc, etc etc

The battery is less than 2 years old and fully charged

Have a number of codes

It keeps happening and if you leave the car for a bit (each time different) it will eventually start in limp home mode. Next time you start it is not in limp home mode and just has check engine light. This then seems to clear itself also.

When I looked at u1147 on google it says that i can be related to the cat having to work over time to hide another issues and would eventually fail.....sounds expensive!!!

Default

Do a hard reset on it then clear every code you can in the car. If you have a convertible, reset the driver and passenger door glass. Make sure the top is closed first before proceeding if you have a convertible. You know how to do that with the windows?
