I'm pleased to say that the gearbox ECU change seems to have cured the gear change problems. :y
Well blow me down with a feather :o

In the spirit of learning/OOF, next time you pass this way, fancy putting original back in, and we'll reapply the firmware, and see if that cures it... ...wondering if it went on corrupt? Can't remember if we flashed it originally, or if it was already at latest when you bought it.

Been flashed several times, you even put 2.5 solftware, then reloaded the 2.6.

The only thing I can think of is the original wasn't seating properly?
Suspect it would throw all sorts of codes, rather than just hang on to gears

When steering passes through about 3 o'clock position?

Sort of, yes.

Before it was happening as you turned a sharp right, say into a side road, now it seems to happen on all right bends.

Just a thought,
if all the steering joints have been checked and all APPEARS TO BE GOOD,  have the front sub frame mount bolts been checked for tightness, it is just poss that the bolts have become loose.
hope you find it will watch this with intrest.

I've tweaked the steering box up a quarter of a turn, which seems to have improved it, will report back when I've taken it for a proper run.

Just trying to think how adjusting the steering box damper, which works in the straight ahead position, would affect a creak with steering off centre...? :-\

Doesn't creak anymore, just got a knock you can feel through the steeering wheel.
