Thanks for the suggestion. I have now put the car on the forum as FREE to collect, I'm running it into the ground before the test runs out (19th July) the first to say they can collect it from me can take it on the day that the test runs out! It's already missing most of the drivers door mirror and the glass is broken, the front bumper has seen better days as that's now my forward facing parking aid!
It's definitely going when the MOT is up, whether it be scrapped or collected for free. If anyone wants it as it stands now it's £200 (scrap money) .... Not continuing to flog a dead horse I would much rather cut my losses and let someone with deeper pockets have it!

HI mate, just a quick question I've got the same problem as you but it don't throw any lights or codes up, I've found out if you drive it nicely then it plays around in in 2nd or 3rd it revs quite high until it changes gear or it will just rev and not go no were as said above if you put it in n then again d it's fine again, I've found out if you drive it quite hard it doesn't do it (well mine don't) when.you go out in it again just give it a try. 
Regards darren

I wonder how Omegod is getting on with his box. Seem to remember he was about to do a 2-3 solenoid 

Didn't solve my problem for long unfortunately but was a piece of piss to change , Looks to be a further solenoid problem and I'm going to change the pressure control one inside the small sump! hopefully a spares car I'm picking up will have a decent one in it

Hi, just wondering were did you get your 2nd and 3rd solenoidso from was it a vauxhall job also how much plz, regards darren

This is the same problem as yours, If you drive like a nutter it's fine though! What an utterly useless car

indeed lol, its a night mere as it don't always do it just when it feels like it, I still like the car as mines the 2.6 v6, its not quite bugging me yet but I want to get it sorted before it gets worse although I have been reading up and it seems like the 2nd and 3rd gear solenoid seems to fix this prob, so im going to find a price for these and give it ago,

roughly £75 ish + vat from Vx dealer for 2nd gear solenoid iirc
