He said it’s a bit better, and is going to work on it today 

I'd walk away. If he didn't mention it to start with what else hasn't been mentioned. 

As I said before, I'd genuinely consider importing one from Japan. 

Sounds dodgy mate.

Yup - sounds like the auto box is on its way out - that's how the symptoms started in my old red Zed.... The box will need a full rebuild (circa £1200 at an auto-box specialist) - or budget for a manual conversion. Which, being an NA, I'd get done - NA autos are dreadfully slow!

Or prehaps just doesnt know the function of the A/T switch ?

I got through 4 autos before a manual conversion.

Getting a manual will cost around a 1K then, new fly wheel/clutch/master & slave cylinders ect.

I never used the A/T switch BTW but mines a TT

£6,500 with a gearbox issue !! seller is taking the pee!
