Once again thank you for your help sierraferry. Please excuse my ignorance but what is RAVE.

The diagnostic I had done said solenoid valve 2 was knackered. But looking at the above diagram numbers 2 and 3 are both called the same. Is it one of these I'm looking to replace?

Thanks sierraferry, On the diagram it shows two solenoids, do you know which one is solenoid 2?

....solenoid valve two? If so is it possible to do at home or are the specialists needed? :oops:

+2 to dynachip

Missed that!:oops:

Just out of curiosity, what would the revs be if you performed a stall test and you had no problems at all?

Once again, thanks! Yes I've been to him recently when my problems started. He ruled out the loom and xyz switch as being the problem.

Cheers sierrafery, would that cause her to go into limp mode and the gears sticking issue though?

Right! Just got her back. She drove home(30 miles) faultlessly. Four times I hit the 51-52 mph zone and every time I had a slight dip in revs as the torque converter kicked in! As soon as I got home I done the stall test as you suggested and got to 2950 rpm. The only positive thing the...

Sorry but I can only go by what the so called experts say. I trust and respect your opinion more than any "specialist" but unfortunately I don't have access to you:D If I do the stall test and it proves the torque converter is actually working can you say with confidence that the problem is the...

The only fault code is the solenoid 2 code

Cheers sierrafery. Excuse my ignorance James but what is a driver demand issue?

Right, she has been at the Auto transmission specialist for a week now and tbh even they aren't 100% sure what the problem is! They are saying the only fault they can find is that the torque converter isn't locking up. The electronic side is working but mechanically it isn't. Firstly, would this...

You really don't need a new starter just the solenoid kit will do!

Thanks bennehboy, looks a little too complicated for me to attempt!!

Yes, about a year ago I had it done.

Thanks sierrafery, I didn't buy the switch or loom, we just plugged the new ones in to eliminate them but once they were found to be ok we put the old ones back on. Is this a DIY fix or do I need a lift or pit to gain more room to work on?

The limp mode saga continues! New xyz switch, wasn't that, new gearbox loom, wasn't that! This is a picture of the fault code. Every time they tried to reset the fault it just made a "click" inside the gearbox and the fault wouldn't go away. Now it quite often getting stuck in gear and won't...

Cheers R1nut. Excuse my ignorance but was is the "Lucas". I'm assuming a lubricant or freeing agent?:oops:
