My car has started slipping out of first gear occasionally. 
Only happens when its cold and a tap of the gear level puts it back in. Outside temp is over 10degC so that can't be a problem.
Very disturbing. Oh, well! Off to the dealer again!   Have a nice day!

Still shows 'D' and no warning lights. It just free revs until I tap the gear level, although once I had to move the lever to Neutral and back to Drive.
A little voice in my head is saying 'software problem ' and a big voice in my head is screaming 'STUFFED GEARBOX  ' Have a nice day!

There doesn't seem to be any reference marks to set the cable position to - looks a bit of a T&E job to be honest

Jamo,
That seems a when you dealer is sooooo far away.
I'm with Gareth it seems like an adjustment to me or faulty selector switch (if is has a switch).

well it looks like a very simple DIY task no switches, just a good old-fashioned Bowden cable...

Jamo,
Had the same problem with it slipping out of gear when cold and when hitting bumps off-road. When it does slip out of gear, does pulling it back to D engage a gear? Mine did.
My dealer diagnosed it as loose cable to the gear selector and fixed it without any further problems around 9 mths ago.

Thanks guys!
I'm due for the 48,000km service in a couple of weeks so I'll get it looked at then and let you know.
TFC, what's a 'Bowden Cable"?? Have a nice day!

Thanks Martin! I learn something new every day! 
I'll admit that I don't know much about auto gearboxes mechanically speaking. Stilll, I didn't realise that something as technologically advanced as a D3 would have the brake cable from a pushbike selecting gears! Have a nice day!

Mine did this when I first got it. Usually happened when reversing out of the drive and selecting 'D', which resulted in lots of revs and not a lot of go. Reported it to LRA who advised taking it to a dealer. They 'adjusted' the gear linkages and it hasn't happened since (Jan 06).
I seem to remember seeing other posts here about this so it is not a rare problem. No longer a D3 owner but still subscribed to multiple threads!
