Done  :y :y :y :y :y :y :y
spray electrical cleaner on all switchs and earth points on base of gearshift under leather gaiter :y :y :y :y :y
So simple yet everyone thinks inside the (gear)box :y :y :y
got mate popping over later to plug in and check :y
But miggy does as it should=shifts thru gears no problem and sports/snow buttons/modes work :y :y
Am sure Boggy will be happy now :y :y

Good news :y

If Range switch issues reoccur, might be worth replacing switch (with 2nd hand), as cleaning does not always work.

But range switch isn't under the leather gaitor. :-\ Can't think of much under there that would affect operation of the gearbox, the only switch is for key removal inhibit. Unless something was shorting the wiring to the winter / sport mode switches or the LED display? I can see that giving the autobox ECU the hump. Either way, not sure I'd expect a spray of cleaner to have effected a permanent cure. :-\ See how it goes, I guess.

Could be a case of moisture in the wiring, leccy spray would possibly cure that? the car had been sat a while so could have added to the problems I already had, leave no stone unturned but the main issues have been rectified, simple problems which shouldn't have been there in the firt place so symes idea to go back to the beginning certainly paid off. Still, we shall see.

 Just the Flex to readjust yeah Symes?
