Hi new to landyzone I have a p38 auto box 2.5 diesel as the car is reving to change gear just before it changes from 2nd to 3rd it seems to change gear then revs up and then seems to engage gear. It seems to be as if you we're changing gear with a manual car and keeping your foot on the throttle hope this makes sense to you. Thanks Alan

I hope you have checked the oil level and the condition of the oil to see if anything is burnt out before you got the code read

Flaring on changes seems to be a common problem. Oil and filter change as others have said, plus a bottle of Lucas Transmission Fix in with the new oil. It fixed mine for a good while.
