Hi Andy,
She wont rev past the 3K mark when in neutral or park or any other gear.
I have been checking the fluid in the box and the level seems fine. I was advised that to get a true reading you would have to dip the stick a couple of times because otherwise it would be a false reading. I have topped her up though on the odd occasion.
The fluid doesnt smell burnt but it is brown not red. She's booked in to an auto gearbox specialist soon to have a flush and filters changed but they reckon that by the sounds of it it has nothing to do with the gearbox as it changes gear ok unless you want more rev! however they did mention that the fluid being brown isn't doing it any favours!!
Thanks for the advise though

;)
