Worth getting it checked as per Gert-Jan... but I would say that the
symptoms you describe are normal. The Selespeed takes a lot of current to
get the hydrolic fluid up to pressure..... I actually noticed on long
motorway journeys the lights dimming as the system *maintains* pressure...
ie without changing gear.
