Hi
Have you got the ability to scan your gearbox for codes?
Alex pepper has the lead software etc for this I believe....
I'm sure one of the mods on here have the web address to contact him. Unless you live near someone that has the lead & software combo and can scan it for you. Where do you live?

Hi Neil and welcome  Grin
 
Sounds like its not getting into top gear properly.
 
Is your speedo behaving normally?
 
Try cleaning your MAF first.

Hows the gearbox oil? have a look here and follow the procedure.

never ever believe in things like that... knew a few chaps who believed everything they've been told by the previous owner and their cars ended in a month or so, either in the a garage for an engine rebuild  or  in a scrap yard
