Hi driving my d2 today when on cruise at low speeds I noticed it hunting for gears
It's a chipped 2001 so I know the torque curve is different but I never noticed it until today
Just wondered if its normal or start of a problem with the auto box
 
Is the engine running properly ? Often autoboxes are blamed for problems that are there as a result of the engine performing badly.
 
Engine runs great,oil level looks ok I'm going to change along with filter this weekend see what effect that has
 
Worth a try(from RAVE):

Stall test

Testing
1. Chock the wheels and fully apply the
handbrake.
2. Start the engine and run it until it reaches
normal operating temperature.
3. Apply the footbrake and select 'D'.
4. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and note
the tachometer reading. The figures should be
as given below. Do not carry out stall test for
longer than 10 seconds, and DO NOT repeat
until 30 minutes have elapsed.
l V8: 2200 to 2400 rev/min
l Diesel: 2600 to 2800 rev/min
5. A reading below 1300 rev/min indicates a
torque converter fault, ie stator free-wheel.
6. A reading between 1300 and 2200 rev/min (V8)
or between 1300 and 2600 rev/min (Diesel)
indicates reduced engine power.
7. A reading above 2400 rev/min (V8) or above
2800 rev/min (Diesel) indicates clutch slip.
 
50mph i know it doesn't lock in till 53mph but I'm not sure what it feels like when it does lock up
