welcome to the forum  :y

You need to get under the car to check gearbox ATF level http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1152783586

All the lights on the gearbox selector is very likely to be ....... http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1267956397 and it will be the reason for being in limp mode.

Your oil check is refering to engine oil. If all is OK on the dip stick it could be the level sensor, but the lower sump needs to come off to get to it.  :y

yup, sounds like those 3 problems as listed by Andy...


selector knackered, or linkage loose

check the autobox fluid,

check your oil level (and replace sensor if needed)
