It was getting so bad that just hitting a bump or even driving along a highway it would go into limp mode, we are currently taking the s5 out and will replace it, does anybody have any other ideas on what it could be , certain local mechanics don't seem to know the answer.

Mine was due to blocked filter and filthy trans fluid. Can you hear any other noises like a whine or whir in D driving normal? or holding gears longer than usual or flaring when in P mode? If I were you id be dropping the pan, replacing with steel pan, new fluid and a trans cooler. This should help you from fhkin your heat exchange and enjoying an expensive ZF milk shake.
