As above really. The box is fine everywhere else until one goes around a corner...it doesnt have to be a sharp corner either. The auto then starts to go all confused as if it does not what gear to be in. Should i expect the worse?

Any tips welcome

check fluid level.

Yup.

Check the fluid level with the engine warmed up and idling, and the transmission in Park. If you check the tranny fluid with the engine off, the fluid level will be WAY off.

Thanks for checking in and telling us that you came to a resolution!

Sometimes, folks will chime in with advice and then the OP will disappear and we never hear what happened.

Thanks for following up to let us know your results. Not enough people do.

Do be sure to check the fluid level again after a week or two. In a low fluid situation there can be a substantial amount of air distributed throughout the transmission's hydraulic system, and it can take a while for it to all to migrate out.
