Hi
Wonder if there anyone could shine a light on a problem i havewith my Rangie.
Sometimes lately while on a long drive and accelerate to erm say 70 and revs should be on about 2 1/2 my revs stay at around 4-5 as it accelerates giving some boot then it should drop back down to 2 1/2 as it changes down.
Well it has not been doing that, so a journey driving down the motorway resulted in me wasting a tank of fuel, it did not changing down. If i completed the boot or little kick down sometimes, it changed down after but not all the time. I turned the car off and back on, it was ok for a while, but then it happened again. I put the car in manual, it was saying i was in 3rd, on small roads where speed was less it was 2nd. I changed up in manual to 5th, but it just flicked back to 3rd or what ever. This is intermitant though. Now i think it would be wise for me to mention i do have an LPG tank as well as petrol and was on LPG when this happened. not had a chance to test on petrol, as fault is not here at the moment. When it is i will flick to petrol to test
Any ideas

. If the tyre pressures at the front are lower on one side of the vehicle than the other (or the tyre sizes different) the unequal rolling radii can cause the transmission ECU to believe that the vehicle is continuously cornering.
