What about any other speed sensing bits in the car ie is your speedo working? ABS & TC?

I'd tend to agree with Rob re the selector switch though.  :-/

Agreed. There's a problem with the selector switch so currently the gearbox ECU doesn't even know which position the gear selector is in. This needs to be resolved before we can go any further. :y

Try the "Varche Fix" It is free and easy to do.

Lift bonnet and press down all the relays and connectors  next to the battery area, especially a big blue one. They come loose on rough roads(potholes).

Worth a try - that was what was wrong with mine (after I had given up on the car) :'( :'(
