Ok, thanks.
In my original post I forgot to mention that the car had a gearbox oil change a week / 300 miles ago.
Took it to my usual shop that I trust to do good work.
When I picked it up it drove great, but the symptoms I described had been getting worse this week. Yesterday on my journey to/from work it was really bad.
So I took the car for a run and got the gearbox temp up to 75c and did a hot fluid check.... only just over the cold fill mark.
So i've added 1.5 qts, and will check again later today. Took it for a drive yesterday evening and again this morning to work and its behaving perfectly. Wondering / hoping that was the problem.
Lets wait and see!
