Hey chaps,
Well thanks for a good fair few replies to go though.
Ok. The symptoms are a TD Elite Auto (ignore my avatar saying CDX V6, THIS is a TD Elite Im talking
)
After a quick rag on a test drive all was well, actually pulled damn well for a Turboweasel. The same for several weeks.
Now over the last week or so, its as if (speaking from the perspective of a manual driver) the 'clutch is slipping'. Its accelerating like a zeppllin, and taking about three thousand revs to get it moving at any rate, probably at about that at 50mph, and wont go into 4th gear. Also wouldnt go into Drive all the time. Autobox warning on mfd, of course.
After a 'box oil topup (which was low, maybe a litre went in) the autobox warning took longer and longer to come on after startup, eventually taking 15mins to come on. Drive mode now works, and Performance is still 'leisurely' as the car mags say, But to my mind, I would have thought a catastrophic box failure would have resulted in one gear not working, or a big cloud of oily smoke and broken cogs! But then I dont claim to be a Merkanick.
So by the sounds of a couple of helpful posts, all may not yet be lost...?
Further comments of a non-sexual nature, as Im only young, would be greatly appreciated 8-)
Thanks again.
