Hi all, we have a 68 plate 1.6 diesel 500x with the automatic gearbox. We find that the car can be quite difficult to drive because of the gearbox not being very smooth, for instance when we lift our foot off the brake pedal the car surges forward quite abruptly so you cannot just creep forward gently like in most autos. This makes manoeuvring in tight car parks etc very difficult. We also find the car changes down a gear too quickly, for instance if you go down a hill, and the revs go through the roof, it then holds on to that gear for far too long even when the road is levelled out! Is there anyone else finding these problems? Is there a way of resetting the gearbox?

Also, the stop star has never worked on the car, no matter how warm the engine, time of year etc
