Having appeared to have solved (hopefully) the auto gear box fault I still have a problem, is the rev limiter set at a certain limit (4000rpm ish) or does it change depending on speed/load/throttle position as this is what's happening at the moment whether I am towing our 25ft caravan or not.
Go to pull away from stand still and the car moves but with no power for a couple of seconds then your off like a rocket which makes it difficult pulling out at round bouts. Then when you hit around 4000/4500 the engine will not produce any more power but you can still keep going (60/70mph) come back off the throttle a bit and on, auto box changes down but still no power to pull away but you can coast as if the engine has gone into some sort of limp mode as soon as I release the throttle pedal totally then power is restored and I can go through the whole process again! If I don't go above 3500/3800rpm every thing is fine.
No warning lights come on when this happen, have a Nano com and no fault codes are found.
This is an intermittent fault as some days the car is fine. The only other thing I have notice is if I give it some wellie but not over 3800rpm it seems to loose power in between changes from 3rd to 4th for longer than I would expect.
