My 2006 Alphard Hybrid is starting to have a minor problem with the automatic transmission - it often appears disengaged when you first take off (racing engine with very little traction) before settling down, and there appears to be a slight loss of power transmission. Any suggestions, especially if you know of a garage that would be willing to take a look at it in the NW England area.

My dealer suggested Home - JK AUTO Hybrids of Blackburn if I needed any help. I haven't used them so can't recommend but it might be worth a phone call if there is no one closer to you.

So when the battery is charged well & engine is off when in ‘Drive’, as you pull away using electric only there’s no issue? 
 

 

Check auto box oil level when hot and top up to the full line, mine does this occasionally on very cold mornings

Any resolution to this issue?
