    Hi Stuart
    Could this describe your fault, with solution.
    The vehicle is holding gears for too long before carring out the next gear change.
    Check for tyre wear difference between axles. There must not be greater than 1mm of tread difference across the tyre, there must not be a diference in tread depth between one axle or both axles. Tyre wear will effect gear change operation.
