Hi All,
I'm new to the forums, i used to be a regular in various other car forums but for some reason forgot how good they are for help.
Onto the problem, as per the title i've found that more and more i'm getting a loss in power and when the gears change down mainly from 3rd to 2nd it literally nearly stops the car dead before gearing down. Changing up isn't as bad but sometimes when i want to get out of a junction a bit quicker than normal there is a long lag before the power kicks in (often too late and quite dangerous) then it fires me off the line.
Sitting at a steady 30 mph seems to be similar and sometimes when all i need is a fraction of power i get a massive surge and shoot forwards having to break sharp. I've taken it to my normal guy who apparently has been over it with a fine tooth comb and cannot see a single thing wrong with it. So i'm hoping someone on here could have a suggestion that i could give to him or even in-fact if they know anyone in the Nottinghamshire area that may be able to help i'll give them the business.
The last thing to note is that sometimes when in the full auto mode i set off say from a set of Traffic Lights and expect to be going through the gears as normal but it keeps on revving and don't change gear at all, instead of showing the D for drive it shows the number of the gear it's in, even though it show's in S or C for the auto gear settings and not M for the paddles.
I know it's alot so thanks in advance for reading
