Bought the VIDA. I did get a free code reader with the car which I could use to reset the lights and I noticed I was getting codes from it so had a look at translating. Turns out the low-tech free of charge code reader was giving enough information and I needn't have bought the VIDA gear. I've still not got it loaded as the DVD supplied with the kit contained corrupted files which made it difficult to install. I've downloaded the files using a torrent (first time I've tried torrents!) so hopefully I'll get it installed to a laptop.
So to the point... the code reader was showing stuck solenoid no. 3.
As it only sticks after a few minutes of driving I'm going to try a transmission oil change as a first step. Give that a few weeks and see if the situation improves. If not then from reviewing various YouTubes I can see it is possible to get to the solenoids without taking out the box... which is good news.
