Waaa...u brave enough to venture into the dark side by choosing the 1.8.
U should hav ask opinion from someone whom know the car b4 going for it.

On the Tranny light, when was the last time the ATF is change?
If u are not sure, flush the tranny.
Worst case is a solenoid valve needs to be replace.

When does the sound on the driver side happen?Where is it coming from?

Well then its a wise choice to change the ATF. Only use ELF Renaultmatic D3 Syn.

Wet carpet can make your car smell. Go hav it fix asap. rust oso can occur.

The besi hit besi sound is probably worn out bushes or the handbrake cable bracket.
U can DIY check by shaking all the joints. None of it should move when u try to shake them.

the water is a sign that the car has been thru flood , now those who design the waja were very smart to place the ecu at the passenger side in front of the front wheel therefore it is exposed to rain and can cause shorting.. now you say the auto sign comes on , does the car jerk in any specific gear like lets say you put it in drive and then after a while the car jerks when its shifting , now that can also be due to water has entered the gearbox.. please do give more detail on how does the car react when shifting gears(from p right down to L)

I would normally warms the car up before driving off in the morning. If the GB Auto icon still appear (normally if there is a sudden change of gear - up or down) , stop by the roadside, switch off and start engine again, normally then ok.... my car la...

My mech told me that it may be due to GB oil pressure which is still not sufficient.

Just ensure mech is familiar with the car (Renault), otherwise the tendency of trial and error mech which will bring you nowhere.

Mine is Wan of Perfection Garage, Subang Bistari. Few others in Subang and Puchong I think.

Wet carpet most probably also due to windscreen previously changed and not properly done resulting rainwater seeping through it - just 2 cents...

for the sound of besi hitting besi try to check your drive shaft , based on my experience on waja 1.8 the worn out head of a drive shaft makes a cling sound ..

u can find it by asking around spare part shop.I must say that not all will carry stock so do ask if they car order from u.
If u dont mind spending a little more, order from service center.

On the auto light,If the shift is smooth
1. check your battery terminal.
2. How old is your battery?

I hav experience where dying battery causes the auto light to lit up when driving in a jam.
Most probably bcoz not enough amp is supplied to the whole system.
As soon as it gets above 1500rpm, the light turns off as the alternator is supporting the current load.
