Just drove back home from work in the Omega (used it all week  ) and as I was going slightly down hill, I was aware that it was rev'ing more than required for the speed. I didn't notice to start with cos the radio was loud-ish & I was miles away  but it then did it again going slightly up hill. I tried to make it do it again, but it wouldn't. 
My first thoughts were low ATF, but it's recently had the rear crank shaft seal replaced & I supplied the garage the best part of a gallon of the stuff to top it up if required - I  know that's not a guarantee that hey actually checked it though.

Any thoughts other than the easy check of low ATF/

They might not have checked it at all .. OR .. they checked it with the engine off..... 

First thought is a PROPER ATF check .. if it does nothing else, it rules out low fluid, which is the cheapest fix anyway .....

Firstly unless you phyically saw them check it i would say check your level plus how old is the current ATF ?

Hope its not the gearbox althoughits not a hard job to replace tbh

Worth a level AND leak check. Engine running as said.

It has been done fairly recently .... a few summers ago  . Can't remember exactly

Weather pending these next few days I'll try to have a look.

Perhaps it's just had a minor fit due to being used every day this week.  No ATF leaks on the drive though.

Merc's had its new Airmatic (suspension) pump now & is back, so Omega can rest again.

Mine does it every now and then - I just ignore it. ATF was checked and found ok.
