No, don't understand what you are saying now, 1st and 3rd post seem to contradict each other  :-/


Can you describe the symptoms clearly, in english with text type shorthand :y

Sorry, I meant NO text speak, my mistake.

First thing you need to do is get the autobox fluid levels checked, but if its been like this for a while, damage could have been done.

Do you get Automatic Gearbox come up on display?

Keep hopin mate they are usually useless! Good luck though, fluid and filter change works a treat but as TB says best caught early

I really would recommend you use somebody who has the faintest idea of the car. That will rule out Halfords, formerly Nationwide, who have a deserved reputation for being a bunch of useless retards.

Where are you, its possible you are near one of the Omega repairers on this site, who I'd recommend over and above any fast-fit place like Halfords, or even Main Dealers.
