In normal road use the car doesn't use first gear - you should get a message on the dash telling you this if you manually select it with the paddles.

1st gear is indeed normally used. The high idle is because the box isn't in 1st and is because the box hadn't reverted to full auto mode from command shift mode or hadn't had 1st gear manually selected by the time the vehicle came to a stop. Moving off in 2nd is possible but mine struggles on inclines. I try to ensure that mine is in full auto mode when coming to a stop. |

Cheers Graeme, what's the quickest way to get back to full auto after being in command shift mode? When I remember, I switch to sport mode and then back.

If you have time, hold the upshift paddle for a couple of seconds otherwise downshift to 1st then hold the upshift paddle, taking off in the middle of it all if needed.

First thing I would do. Call Bodsy and get it Megaflushed with his mobile kit on your drive. Gone to a good home: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"

I'm with you tezza on it holding onto gears too long but only 1st to 3rd. It doesn't seem to do it when the transmission is cold though. Hold the right paddle up to cancel command mode. |

Hmmm, I'd swear blind I got a dash message about 1st gear.... perhaps it was when using one of the driving modes (terrain response?)

If you stay still in auto, after about 8 seconds the torque converter partially disengages to save fuel and the revs will rise a smidge. |
