when started from cold what can cause an auto box to stay in 1st untill its warm?

Leaving the selector at 1

Seriously though it shouldn't. Its got to be an issue with the ECU unless your driveway is near vertical and engine hasn't got the power when cold. The P38 has adaptive change maps to suit conditions but it should still change unless the selector is at 1.
Does it change ok when its warmed up?
Oil level ok?

I have the same problem on my classic, shud a classic do it?

Only info ive been able to find is it maybe the filter at fault it lets crap through and blocks the govenor in the g/box, i aint gonna worry too much about tbh it drives surperb in all other ways and i aint gonna start messin stripping the g/box apart to av a mess

maybe worth serviceing g/box, also try it in gears when its cold see if it will go in second etc or even reverse, thats backwards to you!!!

you have checked the g/box oil when the car is running????

also if the oil is brown/black it could be the wrong type???

failing that scrap it and buy a rr 4.0 petrol, preferably black???
