Just for your own records guys the email below is the reply from Mackies. (I still don't think my car warrants the expense so just driving away until it gives up !!!!!)
The first things we look at is fault codes, oil condition, oil levels, does the oil smell burnt all these conditions can lead us to a conclusion with the transmission Richard, i.e if the oil level is low it can cause slippage, if the oil smells burnt then most likely that the fault lies internal with the transmission and needing to be reconditioned, if you have a diagnostic tool to code read the transmission system and there is codes relating to gear ratio or gear monitoring then the fault also lies internally.
Richard to reconditioned both transmission and torque converter is approx £1695.00+vat, then the costs to remove / refit the transmission + oils, it all adds up then you need to decide if the car merits the repair,
Richard without checking the car these tips i have given you are just hints to let you decide the cars fate or future.
Kind regards
John.
