only driven it for about 6 miles to get it home, but it seems to shift up and down normally when driven sensibly :)

Sorry if this is a REALLY stupid question :-[ , but is the 'S' (Sports) button engaged?  This does lock the gears and force the revs high until eventually changing the gears up once the right speed is reached. :y

Hi Lizzie,
Not a stupid question at all, but alass no the sports button isn't engaged. when it locks in 1st you can hit the rev limiter and it still doesn't change.

7,000 in 1st, Boy it takes off like a scalded cat... lol:)

Do the lights to show which gear you have selected flicker or is more than one on?

 :( Hi, I seem to have the same problem (Ive got a 2ltr Estate). It goes through the gears normally and very smooth, but sometimes, not always, when I put my foot down, the gears seem to change up then back down again as if the car has a stutter or like a DVD sticking, it is only sorted when I back off the throttle  :o
