Hi All
It's time for some major surgery soon I think on my 2001 2.2

Not only is there an oil leak, a climate control bypass valve to be replaced, a possibly intermittant MAF but the Autobox is playing up - and that's the biggie!
I don't have the funds to get it into my tame mechanic just yet so wondering what stock faults might cause the autobox to fail?
The main EML warning is on (though that may be the MAF), my mechanic reset the codes a while back (to see if it would reset itself as I had to head off for a funeral so time was short) but can't remember what the autobox one was except it was torque converter related.
The autobox isn't auto basically. You can drive it ok manually selecting 1-2-3 but sticking it in D results in it trying to get going from a way too high gear! S & Winter buttons don't illuminate.
Not much info to go on but just wondering if that set of symptoms rings a bell with anyone for a particular fault?
Cheers - Dunc
