Default R56 Auto not starting - not changing gears Intermittent

Hi,

I'm new to mini's and yesterday brought a cooper s r56 auto (with a brand new gearbox). After collecting the car drove around 60 miles to fill up with fuel and the car wouldn't start...at all! Couldn't move through the auto box or anything. After 20 minutes of trying finally started and selected gears.

When I got home went to select reverse and went into park (accidentally) couldn't take out of park at this point. Stopped car and back to not starting again. Managed to select neutral whilst engine wasn't running, parked and then tried and it started.

This morning taking it to the local shop - no issues at all.

Anyone help please?

Turned out to be the auto gear selector sensor on the gearbox - in case anyone else gets the same issues
