sorted.
trawled through hundreds of threads and found this out.
if you select manual and use gears 1,2 or 3 the auto box will stay in that gear ie usually in 3rd the box will change down when you've slowed but while manual button is on will stay in 3rd same for 2 and 1. putting lever in drive seems to overide this and operate as per usual.
don't know why but never bothered to try and pull away in 3rd/or with the manual switch on if i want to change myself i just start in 1 and change like a manual, v.odd idea.
