I know it's only a few days, but the last time I experienced any oddness (low power, high revs at medium throttle) was about a week ago when I turned right at a T-junction on the A595 in Cumbria where it is joined by the A5093 at the coast near Silecroft.
After that I proceeded straight to the Hardknott pass which gave the gearbox a "good seeing to" on both 1 in 3 up and down slopes. During and since that journey it's felt fine. http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=8864
I wonder if there was some "redistribution" of fluid (or air bubbles or sludge?) as a result........
