My 2000 / 4.0 P38a gearbox won't go into top until about 38mph, is this right as I think I'm using a lot more fuel puttering around at 30mph in 3rd?
Cheers.

Sounds like it's in Sports mode where all up-changes are a bit later.

Is the selector sitting in the right place? i.e. clicked into D properly or just showing it is but is hovering between 3 and D.

Oil level?

When it does go into top at what speed does it drop back again?

It's not in sport mode, selector sitting on D, I can shift back to 3 and makes no difference. 38mph drops to 1500rpm anything below drops to 3rd and 2000rpm.
