They had the car in and adjusted the setup so it was changing properly and starting in park as it should. Interestingly they suggested that the first thing to check was the state of the atf fluid and change the filters to make sure there was no contamination from damaged or worn parts and if that came back clear to add an additive called Instant Shudder Fixx. I was very skeptical of this as I regarded this kind of treatment as snake oil which can do more harm than good. However, they assured me it would do nothing more than free the torque converter up without swelling any seals or nasty stuff like that. I let them stick it in with a full atf and filter change and the problem was gone straight away. That was last Feb and it's been fine since.
Instant Shudder Fixx can be found here:

Looking on the internet it appears to be a very well received and genuine product.
I'm still look for a new selector cable to replace my damaged one. So if anyone knows anything....
