Auto transmission creep

Been running a bongo for a few months now, and am new to automatics. I get a small amount of creep at idle revs with the transmission in drive. Sometimes its handy as a hill-holder, but a bit of a pain in stop-start traffic where I tend to push it into neutral to limit wear on the trasmission. Just wondered if this was normal?

Perfectly normal - I assume you mean creeping forwards!

Yes I find the brakes are good for all those things and for preventing creeps being run over.
Your automatic drive is made to remain in gear in traffic, stop-start etc. It wont wear out due to that.
I have driven automatics since I slipped my disk 18 years ago and have never, never ever had trouble with clutch or gearbox.
Except once when the gear stick got stuck in my trouser pocket, but thats another story.

waycar8, I'm not certain what you mean by this:
the 1st peddle will stop it creaping forward
or is it me being thick?
(PS I'm not being a pedant over this, even though there are two spelling errors - pedal & creeping)

Nope, waycar8, I'm not bothered at all by the spelling as it is perfectly obvious what the two words are.
What I don't get is what you mean by FIRST PEDAL.

Only my Bongo has THREE pedals, but the first one on the left doesn't do anything!

Have you had a stressful day Wayne.
You seem a little tetchy tonight mate, if you dont mind my observation.
Maybe Amanda can assist with a neck rub
Just dont mention politics
you stop creaping forward.
