Eh?

Auto you say?
Have you checked the fluid for condition and level? Any warning lights on?
How old is the car? Is it a switchable mode box in an earlier car or is it an adaptive box?

[claymore]

Sounds like the box / torque converter is on the way out

Laser or Saffy Abdul?

Saffy

[abdul]

Cars fine at idle just when u are flooring it

[abdul]

Could I have a pipe leaking

[foammanmark]

Saffy

Still not good, but I was hoping it wasn't Laser, as she had a new box etc. not that long ago. Is this a sudden occurrence with saffy?

Yes started a few days ago all of a sudden thought it might be a pipe come off or something

[abdul]

Ok, is the gearbox playing up or is the engine just not producing the power to get it going like it used to? It is possible that a blown boost hose would cause the car not to accelerate properly but with a hose off the engine would stall of the maf is working correctly..

Does it alter the way the box performs of you use the L or 3 positions on the lever?

Not sure of the l or 3 position will check that in the morning if its fine in 3 position would that indicate box is ok

[abdul]

Would having the codes read tell me what the problem is

"Could" indicate an electronic fault rather than a mechanical issue, if your driving it tomorrow drive off as you would in "D" up to 15/20mph. Then once you've reached this speed push the sport button and put the lever in "L" provided you don't use the kickdown at the bottom of the accelerator pedal and the road speed doesn't drop below 5 mph the gearbox should select 2nd, and stay in 2nd it won't upshift, once the car is in 2nd see how the engine performs with moderate to heavy throttle, where possible, to see if the box is slipping or the engine is not producing full power. If the box goes into second and the engine seems to be pulling normally but the revs just instantly shoot up then it sounds like the box is shot

Would having the codes read tell me what the problem is

Never hurts

[abdul]

Going to give it a try tomorrow

From the above description I understand the car revs up but doesn`t go so you need a new gearbox.As a cheaper option I`d fluch the fluid 1st and see how she behaves.
