Is sport mode working ok?

Thank you to all who have responded with your advice, I think I’ll have to bite the bullet, spend some $$$$$ and take the vehicle to a specialist in Brisbane.. As stated, I live 3 hours north, so I’ll enjoy the drive. Thank you ..

Ok, that's a bit more clarity.

When there is a transmission fault ( for whatever reason) often all the features that you mention don't work will most likely be disabled.... However, SOMETIMES when there is a transmission fault, the only way you CAN change gear is in manual mode!!

Which of course in the process makes it a true land Rover through and through.

Cheers

There isn't one,must use a hall effect type gizmo as there are no connections between the shifter and it's PCB.
Other possibility is the slider on the mechatronic unit isn't engaged with a rod of the shifter linkage but I'd expect more problems than what is occurring.
