Does sound like your XYZ switch is playing up, if you have access to a nanocom it will show you the various outputs from the switch, Rave will give you details of which combination will show up for each gear, I would guess you have one of the contacts not working as it should do, If its the same as the one on the Disco then if it goes into limp mode D will effectively put it in 3rd gear I think.
You might get some luck trying to take the switch apart and cleaning it with contact cleaner, when I investigated mine one of the spring contacts had gone weak and would work some times but not others. Would randomly either refuse to start, or go into limp mode when trying to drive forwards. The usual mentioned failure is down to the AC drain dripping onto the switch.
I dont know if its anything or not but I looked on rave and in the x switch row its closed in p, r, 3 and 2 which is every gear I'm getting reverse lights on and open in n, d and 1 which I'm not getting lights in
Thing is as well the reverse lights were on all the time then it changed to above I had to have becm fixed 2 days after I got car, but there is no other problems and I'm sure there was nothing on dash before becm went away but regarding reverse light issue I've no idea if it was working before or not
hey ive had this issue for a while and asked on a few forums but nobody know, the main issues are the car displays nothing at all on dash for gears but if i select hi or lo it will display hi then low then select neutral then it goes blank as a result of that the car will start in any gear but unless started in park or neutral then its in limp mode and hardly moves, also i am getting reverse light on and rear wipers if wipers selected in park, reverse, 3 and 2, the led next to selected gear is always correct and the car will hold in 1 if 1 selected same with 2 (will go from 1 to 2) and 3 (1, 2 then 3) and if in drive it will accelerate properly, reverse and kickdown work properly and park holds car and neutral it will creep depending on if on slope or not.
so the gearbox apears to be fully working but im not sure what lights and dash issue are becm or xyz or cabling
