Hi all, just bought a P reg Ultima auto and on the drive home noticed the rev counter was all over the place. Kept a nice steady 50mph on the journey but the rev counter was going into the red and back down to around 3000 all the time. Noticed if I put my foot down the box kind of slipped with slower uptake....its got 97K on the clock.....any ideas? Thanks team.

Check that the small black lead on the battery negative terminal is on nice & tight
