It sounds to me like the gearbox has gone into limp mode. Might be worth taking a look at that. Again, you need to get codes read from the systems really. Do the lights by the gear selector accurately reflect the position of the stick without any flickering or anything?

hopefully the pic has worked, this is the back of the switch,  to me it doesn't look as though it has enough pins, can anyone confirm this, as I guess buttons are interchangeable on the front

I quoted the pin numbers from haynes...

One pin is power to the switch.
One is the return to ground.
One is the lamp that illuminates the switch when ignition is on.

Connecting the first two will only give a current when the switch is pressed.

Connecting the first and third will do nothing.

Connecting the second and third will produce a constant current.

Switches not interchangeable.

Well the switch is fine, any connections around gearbox I can check,  the pedal test gave- codes 2100  2106  2108, if I could be pointed in the right direction so I'm not checking things that have nothing to do with what I'm looking for. ::)

Had it plugged into diagnostic got the codes 2100 2105 2108 connection errors, checked all wheel sensors, appeared to be ok, checked main ecu connections all ok, lights still on.  Managed to get  connections off abs ecu, looked like a bit of water ingress bit hard to see, used some contact cleaner replaced fitting bingo!!  Must have been enough to make a poor connection,  :y

Nice one. :y

It might be worth checking the rubber seal on that connector in case it leaks again. Often, moistening it with a bit of silicone grease before reassembly will help, just avoid getting it on the pins.
