Recently very occasionally when setting off from standstill the car will appear to hit a false neutral.

It revs but doesnt move, if I then let the throttle off it will then engage drive again.

It hasnt been displaying any fault lights or obc errors except for this morning when it went into limp mode, I pulled over as soon as I could turned the car off and back on again and the error went and the box has been fine again since.

The car has done 150,000 miles, is this an issue that is likely to be solved by a fluid and filter change.

I would certainly get the boix serviced asap - paid £145+vat to get mine done - but then I just got it done for piece of mind - but all was well with the box

What was involved in the box service?

The service was oil and filter change - sump dropped and inspected for debris and a visual inspection of box. I was charged 145 plus vat.
