If it's a manual box, check the clutch sensor switch. I've had that

Sorry - no other ideas (unless it's the brake pedal switch?). But there's
some really clued up & helpful people here, so support should be on its
way.
Oh - just a thought - IIRC some people here were experiencing issues with
stalk switches malfunctioning the other week. Maybe they're a Vauxhall
weakness, whether fro cruise or radio controls etc.

Sorry to be dumb but I think I read that as Left & Right Top = 1 switch

Also I assume the switch is in the footwell above the sound proofing.
Sorry to be vague but its been too cold for more than a quick glance and
I'm priming myself for some warmer weather and its been more than 30yrs

Is the switch repairable (I have the experience) or any idea of new price.

and keep it down. Then pull the pin on the switch that usually touches the
pedal out as far as it will go - it will be a bit tight and make the sound
like a ratchet when it comes out. Next you have to pull the (red I think)
tube that goes round the switch pin out until you can squeeze the locking
tabs in to release the switch - all this while you are jammed under your
pedal box - OR you buy a new switch first and just smash the old one off.
