Oh dear, still being a bit odd.....
 This evening, having driven maybe 5 miles plus sat for 5 minutes with the engine running (so nicely warmed up) I drove a mile or so at 30/40mph then came down a fairly long and steep hill to an A road and turned left. Good visibility, nothing coming, so I didn't come to a halt. As I pulled away, not heavy on the throttle, the revs rose but without that much power so just gentle acceleration. Similar feeling to a "slipping clutch" in a manual. I did the usual "quick lift" and it sorted of "kicked in" and off we went normally. I'll be doing that bit of the journey again later this evening so will try and be a bit more observant. Most of my oddities have, thinking about it, been on or about hills or steep junctions. Wonder if the gearbox fluid level isn't right?
