TB, you did 129mph in 3rd  Where on Earth were you able to achieve this? Autobahn???

Redline 3rd to 4th is a shade under 130mph.

Heyford's runway is a long one

Good stuff. I've never heard anyone getting their Omega close to top speed (only because I've never asked).

What did it feel like going that fast in it?

Shockingly smooth and quiet....

I took mine to 135 when based in Germany and I can concur.  Lovely

The XF spent a full 20 minutes at 155 and it was so comfy the missus didn't wake up until we reached our destination and she realised we were 1.5 hours early

Yep, the faster you go, the better they get.

I was once the first car onto a freshly reopened motorw- er, private road. Mine sat at 130 just as easily as it does 60mph. Omegas are excellent for driving in a manner likely to cause early arrival.

Now absolutely fine, silky smooth

Wondering if perhaps it was just because it had been sat on the shelf for 3 years

Had a v enthusiastic drive to work, couldn't provoke the issue...

You'll probably find that there's some "learning" around the closed-loop control of the fluid pressure which the ECU modulates to control the "hardness" of the shift, so guessing that took a little while to adapt to the new transmission.
