THanx Bazzle for your reply... SC is working fine, no warning lights on dash either ! can drive along happly at 30mph in 1st @ 3500rpm but refuses to change up I emailed guy who had simular problem last year and he reckoned it was gear linkage, I don't even know where to start looking for them... depressed

What happens when you change gear manually?
Is there any oil around connector at bottom front of g/b?
