Thanks for the quick reply! I did have a look at the switch, but honestly, I'm no expert. It looked okay to my untrained eye, and I wiggled the connector a bit, but no luck. Where exactly should I be looking for damage or loose connections? Any specific areas that are prone to failure?

While a visual inspection is a good starting point, a proper diagnosis often requires specialized equipment. The fact that you're experiencing multiple symptoms simultaneously strongly suggests an electrical issue related to the clutch switch circuit. Given the potential complexity, and given the risk of incorrect diagnosis, I would highly recommend taking it to a trusted workshop to have it thoroughly inspected. They can pinpoint the exact fault and ensure a reliable repair. It sounds like a defective cable or plug connection of the component is the likely cause.

Thanks for the advice! I suspected it was beyond my abilities. I took it to the shop, and you were spot on. Turns out it was a faulty connection to the clutch pedal switch. 95€ later and it's all sorted. Appreciate the help!

I had similar symptoms in my Ducato. Error in memory, cruise control malfunction, and occasional starting problems. The gear selection display issue wasn't present in my case, but it could be related. Did you check the clutch switch itself for any physical damage or loose connections?
