So basically itsnot changing gears till 6k+ on the rev counter???
Just a thought but is the sports mode button sticking...known possible fault...if you put sports mode on...what kind of revs does the car change at??
If traffic about 2k, and normal driving about 3k.
Def something not right for an auto, no idea what tho. Id be getting it on a tech2 for a diagnostic.
When cracking on the car will rev to the limits of the rev range and i wonder if it just goes that little bit further the limiter will cut in. Maybe a setting is a fraction off(a guess) or something more serious maybe.Or a reluctance to change up in a particular gear. Dont know of a tech2 near York, maybe a trek to The Boy or Mr dtm would be in order?
Its not every time, its only every now and then...
When should auto change gear if your foot it flat to the floor including pressing the kick down switch? Normally it changed just before the limiter.
Hard to say about gear changes, but on the way to work just now, I was following an old granny, and it changed from 1st-2nd at about 2.4k, then again into 3rd at about 2.3k.
Is a video needed? 
i have to say it sounds more like the BABABA sound rather than RAH RAH RAH! lol...
it should change with your foot flat down/kickdown pressed just on the edge of the red line asin take it just so it touches... unless your spinning a wheel and then it'll hit rev limiter!
Ok, Ok... BABABA then! Happy now? 
In my defence, I was half asleep when I typed it out!
Shouldn't it go something like this Must be sung in a famous nursery ryhme:
BABA oil slick trailing down the road,
Yes sir, Yes sir 3 bottles full.
1 for the refill, 1 on standby and 1 for the filter change that JamesV6cdx would like to do!!.
