Yaris Broken Down 16 Time! Please Help!

Purchased 54 reg yaris feb 08 - one of those easy tronic type things! (Such a girlie about cars)

Broken down 16 times to date, same fault each time

The car starts fine. I place it into gear and it beeps and the gear indicator flashes. I place it back into neutral and the beeping stops. If I try and put it back into gear the same thing happens so I turn the engine off. The car then does not start at all. All lights come on but nothing happens.

Sometimes, when left long enough (usually after 45 – 60 mins) I try to start the car again and it is in full working order.

RAC stated Engine Control Unit issue.

Garage I purchased car form have "cleaned gears", tightened fan belt and replaced autonnator.

Any ideas? Car just been back to garage and they are unable to replicate fault (may be nothing but seems to happen more when warm weather or if used on multiple short trips)

Any assistance greatly appriciated!

Thanks

Freetronic gearbox?

Some of them had a problem with the wiring breaking near the gear selector IIRC, if not its a new ECU module which can easily be a £1500 repair.
