Hi,

Recently noticed the car appears to over rev when pulling away within first few minutes of starting, then performs ok for rest of day.
Could it be fuel related or a fault developing in gearbox.

It could be just the colder weather - the autobox holds lower gears for slightly longer to speed warming up.

As Rory this is a built in feature to warm up the CAT as quickly as possible,,the car will hold on to the 2 lower gears
