hi all.. me again...
drove car this morning and it sounded strange from the off, then flashed up automatic gearbox check. pulled over. put in park turned off engine. started again and it was then fine. did paper clip test and NO fault codes...
any ideas please...
i was thinking and hoping it only needs gear oil change ?

your probably right - low fluid.

may just be a one off..

could also be solenoid on its way out etc.

a code read (with proper capable codereader) will tell you the fault logged.

theres a variety, and only accessible once you remove the sumps  Sad
you'd need codes / live data / definate symptoms to work out what.
