Auto Gearbox - Problems

[Comhander]

Hi all

 

I am hoping someone may be able to shed some light on the problems I have with my MkII Galaxy 2.3 4 Speed Tiptronic Auto gearbox.

 

Where do I begin?

1. Started slipping whilst going into 4th gear then:
   
2. When in Drive it seems to be stuck in 2nd and/or 3rd and Tiptronic function does not work up or down.
   
3. Dash Indicator does not show which gear the car is in although PRND4321 are all illuminated. Normally indicated by highlighted square over current gear position
   
4. Footbrake lock only works once when the ignition is switched on and will then let me move freely from P to 1, including straight into R!! Luckily I have not done this whilst moving forward.
   
5. Management Information Light is illuminated and a basic OBD Reader indicates 1 fault P700. The book that came with it indicates 'Transmission Control System (MIL request)'
   

I have checked all fuses and connections to gearbox and gear seclector and all seem ok.

 

Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated and if major works are likely anybody know of a decent garage to carry out the work, in the Luton area.

 

Here's hoping :D

doesnt illumination of all the indicators mean that its in limp home mode ?

The lights are normally illuminated with the current position shown with an illuminated Square. Lights still come on but the square just flashes quickly before disappearing when the ignition is switched on?

 

Thanks for the garage north of Letchworth I will try an online search.

An update to the problem:

 

Finally went into limp mode so I had the box inspected by a specialist and advised that the Torque converter lock up clutches were causing the problem. Luckily I have warranty to cover some of
